title: Photoresponsive liposomal nanohybrid cerasomes.
abstract: An innovative photoresponsive cerasome is fabricated by sol-gel process in combination of self-assembly technique from a molecularly designed organoalkoxysilylated lipid containing an azobenzene unit, which is able to operate as a "valve" with an "on-off" function under specific stimuli to control the release of loaded guest molecules from the liposomal membrane.
