A quick answer: Liposomes are composed of a lipid bilayer separating an aqueous internal compartment from the bulk aqueous phase. Micelles are closed lipid monolayers with a fatty acid core and polar surface, or polar core with fatty acids on the surface (inverted micelle).
Lipids are more than building blocks—they’re shape-shifters that influence stability, functionality, and drug delivery performance. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or new to the lipid world, understanding these morphologies is key to pushing the boundaries of innovation.
