Interaction of phosphatidyl choline liposomes with erythrocytes during spontaneous lysis of the latter has been studied. It is shown that hemoglobin which is released during the lysis of erythrocytes is found by liposomes which in their turn are absorbed on the external erythrocyte surface. In this case the binding of hemoglobin by liposomes takes place with a greater speed than its release during erythrocyte lysis and is accompanied by a change in its conformation. Possibilities of the microcalorimetry methods for studying the interaction of liposomes with erythrocytes under the conditions mentioned above are considered.

Purpose: A synergistic treatment strategy of phototherapy and chemotherapy has been shown to improve efficacy and offer unique advantages over monotherapy. The purpose of this study is to explore a new nanocarrier system with liposome as the inner membrane and erythrocyte membrane as the outer membrane, which aims to realize the leak-free load of phototherapy drug indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), prolong the circulation time in vivo and improve the therapeutic effect.
Patients And Methods: In this study, bilayer membrane-loaded ICG and DOX nanoparticles (RBC@ICG-DOX NPs) were prepared and characterized.

Background: Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the food spice turmeric that has received interest from the medical and scientific world for its role in the management of several conditions. Clinical studies, in humans, have shown that ingested Curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day), but it has poor bioavailability primarily due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism and elimination. Several strategies have been implemented to improve the bioavailability of Curcumin, for example, the combination of piperine in a complex with Curcumin, or the usage of formulations with phospholipid or liposomal complexes.

mRNA-based vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic have propelled the use of nucleic acids for drug delivery. Conventional lipid-based carriers, such as liposomes and nanolipogels, effectively encapsulate and deliver RNA but are hindered by issues such as premature burst release and immunogenicity. To address these challenges, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles offer a promising alternative.

: In 2022, the World Health Organization highlighted the necessity for the development of new antifungal agents. Polyene antibiotics are characterized by a low risk of drug resistance; however, their use is limited by low solubility and severe side effects. : A series of -alkylated derivatives of amphotericin B and nystatin A as well as their -(2-hydroxyethyl)amides were synthesized.
