Physical characterization of liposomes containing moieties from vessel-healing cells

Abstract

For the past 40 years, extensive research has been done on the medical applications of liposomes, i.e using liposome as drug carriers. Drug-encapsulated liposomes have shown to be a promising material for drug delivery due to their entrapment potential and therapeutic outcome. Several liposome drugs have already been available in the commercial pharmaceutical market. However, liposome-based vascular healing drugs have not yet been widely explored. Vascular healing is a complicated but important process. Incomplete or inadequate healing can lead to deficiency in regular blood flow which can be life threatening.
