“…Furthermore, the progress in biotechnological engineering has led to the evolvement of new biological-based therapeutics and vaccines that are usually characterized by limited ability to cross cell membranes accompanied by poor in vivo performance due to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) (Boyd, 2008;Li et al, 2012). Different strategies that include encapsulating therapeutic agents or vaccines into nano-colloidal delivery systems (polymeric or lipid-based nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanostructured lipid carriers, mixed micelles and vesicular structures) have been adopted by researchers to cope with impediments associated with delivering these challenging agents to specific target tissues (Malik et al, 2007;Tiwari et al, 2010;Li et al, 2012;Gupta et al, 2013;Demetzos & Pippa, 2014). Among different classes of colloidal systems, vesicular carriers have gained particular attention in delivering poorly soluble drugs and proteins/ peptides (Torchilin, 2005).…”
