This new volume explores one of the most versatile and rapidly advancing drug delivery platforms in modern pharmaceutical science. By mimicking the structure of biological membranes, liposomes provide biocompatible carriers capable of encapsulating both hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutic agents, making them indispensable tools in targeted and controlled drug delivery.

Beginning with the fundamental principles of liposome structure, classification, formulation, and physicochemical properties, the book examines how these amphiphilic vesicles have transformed the delivery of pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, and genetic material. Chapters highlight advances in liposomal technologies for cancer therapy, pulmonary and ocular drug delivery, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, DNA delivery, and vaccine development while addressing formulation design, safety, toxicity, and regulatory considerations.

The volume also explores emerging strategies for improving therapeutic efficacy, minimizing adverse effects, and enhancing site-specific drug delivery. Emphasizing both scientific principles and practical applications, it demonstrates how liposomal systems continue to expand the possibilities of precision medicine and advanced pharmaceutical development.

Bringing together expertise from leading researchers in pharmaceutics, nanotechnology, and drug delivery, this comprehensive volume serves as an important reference for graduate students, pharmaceutical scientists, researchers, clinicians, and professionals seeking an upto- date understanding of liposome-based therapeutic technologies.
