Construction strategy of stimuli-responsive liposome and its biological application

Abstract:

Stimuli-responsive liposomes, a novel type of nanocarriers, have been widely used in the fields of medicine, food, and cosmetics. This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the preparation methods, construction strategies, and biological applications of stimuli-responsive liposomes. The review highlights the functional principles of pH-sensitive, redox-sensitive, enzyme-sensitive, heat-sensitive, light-sensitive, and magnetic field-responsive liposomes, and summarizes their applications based on various drug delivery mode. Finally, the article provides an overview of the current challenges and future development prospects for stimuli-responsive liposomes.
