Liposomes

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Artificial, single or multilaminar vesicles (made from lecithins or other lipids) that are used for the delivery of a variety of biological molecules or molecular complexes to cells, for example, drug delivery and gene transfer. They are also used to study membranes and membrane proteins.  when used as a vehicle in drug therapy, index specific drug /admin (IM) + LIPOSOMES (NIM without qualifiers)   
Examples Unilamellar Liposomes 		Other names Ultradeformable Liposomes; Transferosomes; Niosomes; Ultradeformable Liposome; Ultra-deformable Liposomes; Ultra-deformable Liposome; Transferosome; Niosome; Liposomes, Ultradeformable; Liposomes, Ultra deformable; Liposome, Ultradeformable; Liposome, Ultra-deformable; Liposome; Liposomes, Ultra-deformable
Substances having this pharmacologic action: liposomal amphotericin B
