From the invisible to the visible world and back...

Hi, today I'll tell you about the nanoliposomes.
It is a small hollow vesicle (50-200nm) whose double membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids and in an aqueous solution form a spherical structure. They have an identical composition to the cells of the organism (phospholipids).

They are used in the pharmaceutical industry to encapsulate and transport active ingredients without oxidizing or degrading them at the time of their liberation, such as fish oil or vitamin C. It is also used to incorporate active ingredients into foods, creams or cosmetics.
I'ts importance is that they are made of phospholipids, so it gives them the advantage of not being rejected by the organism. and serve to transport active substances that are very unstable and easy to oxidize in the human body.

These nanoparticles are a breakthrough for pharmaceutical science, since we can encapsulate a large number of substances in them and give different uses.At the moment it is being studied the future use of these molecules to transport active substance to anticancer cells and to eliminate them, in addition to the encapsulation of the fish oil and the incorporation of these in the foods.This would be a breakthrough for health, since it could find a possible cure for cancer, or on the other hand, incorporate efficiently the oil of fish to our organism would help us to prevent a lot of diseases.

Well, to say goodbye, I want to tell you that I decided to talk about this topic, because I had to expose about the encapsulation of fish oil in nanoliposomes last week, besides,  others classmates had to expose about the advances of encapsulation of anticancer in these particles and  its effectiveness.This seemed very interesting, since I discovered that the nanoliposomes can be used for various active principles, and may have different purpose of use, in addition they are super effective to transport any substance, reason why gives me many hope that in the future they can use for great purposes and cure many diseases!
