Intracellular substance delivery using light-induced disruptive liposomes (LiDLs).

Caption

LiDLs demonstrate high stability in extracellular compartments and low stability in intracellular compartments, effectively resolving the challenge faced by conventional drug delivery systems. As a result, they are promising photoswitchable carriers for intracellular substance delivery, find researchers from Japan in a new study.
