Liposomes provide an established basis for the sustainable development of different commercial products for treatment of medical diseases by the smart delivery of drugs. The industrial applications include the use of liposomes as drug delivery vehicles in medicine, adjuvants in vaccination, signal enhancers/carriers in medical diagnostics and analytical biochemistry, solubilizers for various ingredients as well as support matrices for various ingredients and penetration enhancers in cosmetics. In this review, we summarize the main applications and liposome-based commercial products that are currently used in the medical field.

IntroductionHydrogel nanocomposites can be obtained by incorporating different types of nanoparticles, such as metallic, clay, and carbon nanotubes, into a hydrogel matrix. Hydrogel nanocomposites have unique properties such as improved mechanical strength, stimuli responsive behavior, biological interactions, optical properties, and ability of remote actuation (Gattas-Asfura et al., 2003;Thomas et al., 2008). For example, the high water content and elasticity of hydrogels typically leads to inferior mechanical performance and limits their applications.The incorporation of nanoparticulate material like hydroxyapatite has improved the mechanical properties
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
