Differbetween
The main difference between liposomes and niosomes is that liposomes are made up of phospholipids, which contain two hydrophobic tails whereas niosomes are made up of non-ionic surfactants, which usually contain a single hydrophobic tail.

What are liposomes Niosomes?
g. as niosomal drug carriers for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. ... Throughout this paper, vesicles (mainly) composed of non-ionic surfactants are called niosomes, while vesicles (mainly) composed of phospholipids are indicated as liposomes.
Why are Niosomes more stable than liposomes?
Compared with liposomes, niosomes have advantages such as good stability, low cost, easy to be formulated and scaling-up. Niosomes are much more stable because their forming materials, non-ionic surfactants, are more stable than those of lipids both in terms of physical and chemical stability.
What are liposomes used for?
A liposome is a tiny bubble (vesicle), made out of the same material as a cell membrane. Liposomes can be filled with drugs, and used to deliver drugs for cancer and other diseases. Membranes are usually made of phospholipids, which are molecules that have a head group and a tail group.
Are liposomes nanoparticles?
Liposomes are a type of clinically well-established nanoparticle that have been commercially used to deliver cytotoxic drugs, antifungal drugs and vaccines.
