Figure 6

A schematic representation of the common vesicle size and lamellarity classification system of liposomes. Small unilamellar vesicles are less than 100 nm in diameter and large unilamellar vesicles are between 100 and 1000 nm. Multilamellar vesicles have more than one membrane layers, and multivesicular vesicles encapsulate smaller vesicles. Adapted with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry. [50] Copyright 2013.
