title: [Recent advances in liposomes and nanoparticles as drug carriers for drug delivery].
abstract: Liposomes and nanoparticles have been used as drug carriers to increase solubility, prolong drug duration in vivo, target drug delivery, reduce toxicity and combat multi-drug resistance. With major advances in the preparation techniques, preparation material, and surface modifiers in recent years, liposomes and nanoparticles delivery systems have achieved success in fields including cancer therapy, overcoming biological barriers, and biological drugs and vaccine carriage.
