| liposome |
A microscopic artificial membrane vesicle consisting of a spherical phospholipid bilayer. Liposomes can be incorporated into living cells and used to transport relatively toxic drugs into diseased cells, where they can exert their maximum effect. DNA molecules may be entrapped in, or bound to the surface of, the vesicles, and subsequent fusion of the liposome with the cell membrane will deliver the DNA into the cell. ...

| liposome |
microscopic globules of LIPIDS manufactured to enclose medications. The liposome's fatty layer is supposed to protect and confine the enclosed drug until the liposome adheres to the outer membrane of target cells. By delivering treatments directly to the cells needing them, drug EFFICACY may be increased while overall TOXICITY is reduced.
