Capsules Encapsulated: Enzyme-Equipped Liposomes Embedded In Polymer Capsules As A Novel Biomedical Transport System, University of Melbourne Study

(PhysOrg.com) -- When cells cannot carry out the tasks required of them by our bodies, the result is disease. Nanobiotechnology researchers are looking for ways to allow synthetic systems take over simple cellular activities when they are absent from the cell. This requires transport systems that can encapsulate medications and other substances and release them in a controlled fashion at the right moment. The transporter must be able to interact with the surroundings in order to receive the signal to unload its cargo.
