What Is Sterically Stabilized Liposome?

Sterically stabilized liposomes, ones modified at the surface with hydrophilic polymers (PEG), have proven to reduce in vivo recognition and phagocytic uptake, resulting in prolonged circulation and localization in tumors as well as other sites of pathology.

How do you stabilize liposomes?

The simple strategy of mixing phospholipid liposomes with charged nanoparticles and using sonication to mix them at low volume fraction produces particle-stabilized liposomes that repel one another and do not fuse.

What are the types of liposomes?

There are three types of liposomes:
  • MLV (Multilamellar vesicles)
  • SUV (Small unilamellar vesicles)
  • LUV (Large unilamellar vesicles)
