niosomes
Also known as: NIOs, non-ionic surfactant vesicles
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Niosomes (NIOs), a class of nanovesicular drug delivery system... resulting from the self-assembly of non-ionic surfactants (with or without cholesterol) in aqueous media.
Usefulness & Problems

Ranked Claims
The bilayered structure of niosomes enables encapsulation of hydrophilic agents in the aqueous core and lipophilic compounds within the lipid bilayer.
Surface and content modifications can transform conventional niosomes into stimuli-responsive systems with precise and controlled drug release.
Niosomes are nanovesicular drug delivery systems formed by self-assembly of non-ionic surfactants, optionally with cholesterol, in aqueous media.
