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

Today I will speak about of a very interesting subject in the field of sciences especially in pharmacology...the Liposomes. 
The liposomes are nanoparticles, which are used as a vehicle for administration of nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs. 
I studied this issue for the subject "Research for the pharmaceutical sciences", where we specifically focus on the action of liposomes on skin cancer. 
This topic is very important in the pharmacological world because the liposome acts as a vehicle for anticancer agents , targeting cancer cells specifically without side effects as in common therapies (For example chemotherapy, which has cytotoxic agents that attack both good and bad cell, causing secondary affections such as hair loss).
One of the advantages of liposomes is that various modifications can be made to improve their specificity, such as adding proteins to the surface of their membrane, which will make a better recognition of the cancer cells, releasing the anticancer agent(drug) only in those "bad cells ". On the other hand, this treatment is so new and innovative, that even the scientists continue making various modifications to the liposomes, which are very expensive, which is a great disadvantage if you want to generate a cure in the skin cancer.
This topic we exposed with my friends a week ago, and clearly if the scientists continue with the studies of liposomes and their various modifications to treat not only skin cancer if not any other type, you could reach a cure, which Is a necessity nowadays in many people.
