Computer enhanced coloured LM of lipsomes
Liposomes. Computer enhanced coloured light micrograph of liposomes. A liposome is an artificial vesicle made from phospholipids which can have many uses in biology. For example, various components of biological membranes can be incorporated into liposomes to allow investigation of their properties. Also, enzymes can be immobilized by encapsulating them into liposomes, as can numerous drugs. The liposomes can then be made to fuse with specific cell membranes under controlled conditions. This means liposomes can be used in experiments such as " targeted" gene or drug therapy. Magnification: x400 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-enhanced colored light micrograph of liposomes, artificial vesicles made from phospholipids. With their versatile nature, liposomes have found various applications in the field of biology. By incorporating different components of biological membranes into liposomes, scientists can investigate and understand their properties better. One significant use of liposomes lies in immobilizing enzymes and encapsulating drugs within them. This enables controlled delivery and targeted therapy as these bioengineered vesicles can be made to fuse with specific cell membranes under precise conditions. Such experiments open doors for groundbreaking advancements in gene therapy or drug administration. The magnified image reveals intricate details at 400 times its original size on a 6x6cm scale. The vibrant colors highlight the complexity and beauty of these tiny structures that hold immense potential for scientific exploration. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print not only serves as an awe-inspiring piece but also represents the intersection between production, genetic engineering, biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and bioengineering. It symbolizes the continuous progress being made in harnessing the power of liposomes for medical breakthroughs while respecting ethical boundaries.
