Bicelles: New Lipid Nanosystems for Dermatological Applications.
Bicelles have emerged as promising membrane models, and due to their attractive combination of lipid composition and physicochemical characteristics, they have become new nanostructures for biomedical research. Depending on the composition, temperature and other experimental factors, these nanosystems exhibit high structural and morphological versatility. Additionally, bicelles are able to modulate the biophysical parameters and barrier function of skin. Given these properties, these nanostructures appear to be smart nanosystems with great potential in biomedicine and dermopharmacy.
