Liposomal nanocarriers for diagnostics, imaging and drug-delivery

The use of liposomes as pharmaceutical nanocarriers for treatment, diagnosis and monitoring of diseases has gained considerable interest within the last years. Meanwhile, liposomes have proven their pharmaceutical applicability as controlled release formulations, which can be  administered by different routes. Besides, liposomes are considered as promising targeted signal-emitter for non-invasive molecular imaging.  Advanced strategies in development of liposomes include polymer coating and surface functionalization with ligands or antibodies to achieve targeted delivery for precision medicine.
