“…Many efforts have been undertaken to increase the stability and integrity of liposomes in the GIT either by coating the vesicles with polymers, such as chitosan, polyethylene glycol and pectin (Immordino et al, 2006;Nguyen et al, 2011;Parmentier et al, 2011;Kowapradit et al, 2012), or by inclusion of tetraether lipids or gangliosides within their structures (Torchilin, 2005). Recently, BS-liposomes have been investigated as stable carriers for delivering sensitive therapeutic agents and proteins by replacing a fraction of the CH in the lipid bilayers with bile salts (Guan et al, 2011;Niu et al, 2011Niu et al, , 2012Niu et al, , 2014.…”
