The Carrier Potential of Liposomes in Biology and Medicine

TLDR

Absence of specificity in pharmacologically active agents hinders their effective use in biological research and medicine. The study aims to develop a method that enables agents to reach targets selectively and in a controlled manner, thereby eliminating problems of conventional methods. The authors propose a nontoxic, biodegradable carrier that can encapsulate various biologically relevant substances and deliver them to target sites upon contact with a living entity.

Abstract

Absence of specificity in pharmacologically active agents is an obstacle to their effective use in biologic research and medicine. It follows that any approach enabling an agent to reach its target selectively and in a controlled fashion would contribute to the elimination of problems inherent in conventional methods. One such approach has been the development of a nontoxic and biodegradable carrier capable of containing a variety of substances of biologic interest that the carrier could, upon contact with a living entity, direct to the site of action and, subsequently, allow to perform their task. Ideally, there . .
