Successful therapeutic outcomes have been achieved through innovative formulation designs that provide efficient drug delivery. This has made it possible to overcome some difficult challenges due to the pathological condition, the body physiology or properties of the therapeutic agent. Liposomes are innovative drug delivery devices developed by formulation scientists, taking after nature's mechanisms of cellular material transport system and survival. Liposomes, type of vesicular carrier, are proving to be a promising drug delivery system in cancer, infections and other diseases as well as in the field of diagnosis. Liposome are also emerging in the field of cosmetics, dietary as well as phytomedicines. Due its versatility, they are a subject of interest for many researchers to develop an ideal drug delivery system.
