A lipid entity consisting of one or more phospholipid bilayers is referred to as a liposome. In many scientific disciplines, including mathematics and theoretical physics, chemistry, colloid science, biology, biochemistry, and so on, liposomes are helpful as reagents, tools, and reproduction. Since liposomes' structure is comparable to that of lipid bilayers and cell membranes, they are one of the many drug delivery techniques used to target the medicine to a certain tissue. Both hydrophilic and lipophilic medications can be found within liposomes, which are spherical vesicles composed of phospholipid bilayers. Liposomal formulation has been used in the past to carry out extensive study on a range of drugs and genes for controlled release. The possible use of liposomes in the therapy of cancer has also been investigated. Because liposomes are nontoxic, biodegradable, immunogenic, and biocompatible, they have a number of benefits.
