What are Recent Advances in Liposomal Nanotechnology?
Recent advances in liposomal nanotechnology include:
- PEGylation: The attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to liposomes can increase their circulation time in the bloodstream, enhancing their efficacy. - Stimuli-responsive Liposomes: These liposomes release their contents in response to specific stimuli, such as pH, temperature, or enzymes, providing controlled and targeted delivery. - Multifunctional Liposomes: Incorporation of imaging agents or therapeutic molecules into liposomes allows for combined diagnostic and therapeutic applications, known as theranostics.
