liposome

In medicine, a minute droplet of oil that is separated from a medium containing water by a phospholipid layer. Drugs, such as cytotoxic agents, can be incorporated into liposomes and given by injection or by mouth. The liposomes allow the drug to reach the site of action, such as a tumour, without being broken down in the body.
