0 an extremely small artificial sac (= bag) made of a type of fat, used in medicine to carry a drug or other substance to particular cells in the body -- liposom
Effects of microgravity on liposome-reconstituted cardiac gap junction channeling activity.
Reconstitution of cardiac gap junction channeling activity into liposomes : a functional assay for gap junctions.
Reconstitution of gap junction channels : liposomes as tools to assay the activity of channel-forming proteins.
However, phospholipid liposomes have some limitations, such as sensitivity to phospholipases, high cost of manufacture and difficulty in scale-up for production.
The liposomes were then fused with planar bilayers for direct examination of single-channel properties.
It was mentioned above that conventional liposomes act as non-toxic vesicles for an insoluble drug, releasing it slowly back to the circulation.
It is possible that in cells glucan liberated from liposomes directly stimulates effector macrophage functions.
In this respect, the administration of benzimidazole carbamate anthelmintics in stabilized liposomes provides sustained drug-release reservoirs and considerably enhances their bioavailability.
