Curcumin is a multifunctional and natural agent considered to be pharmacologically safe. However, its application in the food and medical industry is greatly limited by its poor water solubility, physicochemical instability and inadequate bioavailability. Nanoliposome encapsulation could significantly enhance the solubility and stability of curcumin. Curcumin nanoliposomes exhibited good physic...

The use of larvicides, especially in endemic regions, is recommended for malaria control. However, due to the excessive synthetic resistance mosquitoes and environmental pollution have been challenges. In current study, nanoliposome containing clove cinnamon essential oils their major ingredients, i.e., eugenol cinnamaldehyde, were first prepared; particle size successful loading investigated u...

Gold (Au) nanoshells with solid silica cores have great potential for cancer photothermal therapy. However, this nanostructure cannot carry enough drugs. Here, we report a Au nanoshell with a hollow silica core for drug loading and cancer therapy. The silica shells were synthesized using nanoliposome templates, and then Au nanoshells were grown on the outer surface of the silica shells. Transmi...

utilization of non-food-grade organic solvents and high shear forces in conventional liposome formation techniques has limited their applications as carriers of nutrecuticals in food industry. the objective of this research is the production of gamma-oryzanol bearing nanoliposome by using modified thermal method. nanoliposomes were produced by a suitable concentration of lecithin and gamma-oryz...

Lactoferrin was purported in consumer literature to enhance and support the immune system response through their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticarcinogenic properties. To improve the effectiveness of lactoferrin, liposomes were used as a carrier in this study. The main purpose of this study was to compare three different methods to prepare the lactoferrin nanoliposomes based on the encaps...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency in children can have significant neurological consequences, and iron supplementation is an effective treatment of choice. However, traditional routes of iron supplementation do not allow efficient iron delivery to the brain due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier. So an easily delivered iron formulation with high absorption efficiency potentially could find wid...

Liposomes have attracted great interest as efficient carriers for nutrients, drugs and other bioactive agents as well as ideal models for biological membranes. This article intends to provide an overview of liposomes and nanoliposomes definition as well as their properties and preparation methods. Also it elaborates on various applications of nanoliposomes in nanotherapy including diagnostics, ...
