ABSTRACT

This review article focuses on transferosomes, a nanocarrier technology for drug delivery and other therapeutic applications. The present investigation indicates that the transferosomes are drug mover systems that can penetrate across intact skin. It is believed that the unimpeded passage of such carriers is based on two key factors: the high elasticity (deformability) of the vesicle bilayers and the reality of an osmotic gradient across the skin. The article will discuss the structure and composition of transferosomes, the various methods used to prepare them, and the various applications for which they are used. Additionally, the article will examine the most recent research and development in transferosome technology, highlighting the successes and challenges associated with its use. Finally, the article will consider the potential for future applications of transferosomes and the implications for drug delivery.
