Lipid in chips: A brief review of liposomes formation by microfluidics

Abstract

Liposomes are ubiquitous tools in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, membrane science and artificial cell. Micro-and nanofabrication techniques have revolutionized the preparation of liposomes on the microscale. State-of-the-art liposomal formation on microfluidic chips and its associated applications are introduced in this review. We attempt to provide a reference for liposomal researchers by comparing various microfluidic techniques for liposomes formation.
