Liposome Vs. Lipid Nanoparticle: What's The Difference?

It’s common for liposomes to be called lipid nanoparticles, but strictly speaking, this isn’t correct. Liposomes and lipid nanoparticles are two different types of lipid-based delivery, and while there is some overlap, they have different structures and stability.  Lipid-based drug delivery systems hold promise for the future, particularly when it comes to difficult to formulate and poorly water-soluble drugs.

In this article, we’ll discuss the difference between nanoparticles and liposomes, along with their applications in medicine.
