What is the Liposome? It is a lipid bilayer (consists of phospholipids identical to cell membrane phospholipids) surrounding an aqueous space. Liposome types: A-Unilamellar consisting of phospholipids bilayer enclosing aqueous layer B-Multilamellar vesicles (MLV) consist of several (up to 14) lipid layers(in an onion-like arrangement) separated from one another by a layer of aqueous solution Applications Release their contents when they reach a specific temperature.  Release their contents at a specific pH value. Target certain tissues or cell types by changing the types of lipids in the liposome.  Target tissues, cell types or specific proteins by attaching antibodies to the surface.  Avoid certain tissues or cells by attaching complex sugars to the surface.  Evenly distribute fat-soluble (oil-like) compounds such as certain vitamins, antioxidants, antibiotics, flavors, etc. which often can’t be mixed in water-based products including most foods.  Fuse with cells
