What are the similarities between exosomes and liposomes?

Posted October 2, 2024


Answer

Exosomes and liposomes are vesicular structures with mean diameters ranging from 50 to 120 nanometers. Both structures are composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which surrounds their internal content. 

Both exosomes and liposomes can serve as carriers for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents.
