The term liposome has been derived from two Greek words: “Lipos” (fat) and “Soma” (body), and refers to a spherical, microscopic-sized carrier composed of one or more phospholipids bilayers encapsulating an aqueous core (aqueous phase). Due to the amphiphilic nature of phospholipids, liposomes are a versatile type of carrier, capable of carrying both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules.
