“…Lipid-based nanoparticles (NPs), including liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), are increasingly used for drug delivery due to their high encapsulation efficiency and ease of surface modification [133,134]. Liposomes, mimicking cellular membranes, consist of hydrophilic and hydrophobic phospholipids that spontaneously form bilayers in aqueous solutions, influencing their size, charge, and rigidity [135,136].…”
