Liposome
A liposome is a spherical vesicle having at least one lipid bilayer.
what is another lipid in the cell membrane It is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules besides the cell membrane, is there any other part in the cell where this bilayer is present? UNANSWERABLE what are the functions of this bilayer? It is the barrier that keeps ions, proteins and other molecules where they are needed and prevents them from diffusing into areas where they should not be what instruments are used to observe this layer? Electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy what are the main parts the second instrument consists of? Cantilever, a piezoelectric element, the sharp tip, the detector, the sample, sample stage, and an xyz drive who developed this instrument? Gerd Binnig what is this person's profession? He is a physicist which organizations did he work for? IBM where is this company headquartered? Armonk, New York what products did this company develop in their research labs? Linux kernel,  platform-independent software framework Eclipse, International Components for Unicode (ICU) license are some of them what are the names of any current (or former) workers who work in this organization? Tim Cook, Ross Perot, John W. Thompson are few among them who all were involved in discovering the structure of that bilayer of the cell? Prof. Dr. Evert Gorter and F. Grendel how does the process of exocytosis take place in that bilayer of the cell? When a vesicle is produced inside the cell and fuses with the plasma membrane to release its contents into the extracellular space how does the process of endocytosis take place in that bilayer of the cell? In the reverse process, a region of the cell membrane will dimple inwards and eventually pinch off, enclosing a portion of the extracellular fluid to transport it into the cell what are some of the commercial applications of this bilayer? The use of liposomes for drug delivery, especially for cancer treatment

Liposome [SEP] Introduction
A liposome is a spherical vesicle having at least one lipid bilayer. The liposome can be used as a vehicle for administration of nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs. Liposomes can be prepared by disrupting biological membranes (such as by sonication). Liposomes are most often composed of phospholipids, especially phosphatidylcholine, but may also include other lipids, such as egg phosphatidylethanolamine, so long as they are compatible with lipid bilayer structure. A liposome design may employ surface ligands for attaching to unhealthy tissue. The major types of liposomes are the multilamellar vesicle (MLV, with several lamellar phase lipid bilayers), the small unilamellar liposome vesicle (SUV, with one lipid bilayer), the large unilamellar vesicle (LUV), and the cochleate vesicle.
