Changes in the Structure of the Human Stratum Corneum Induced by Liposomes

One of the major drawbacks in transdermal drug delivery is the slow penetration rate of drugs through the skin. Several methods are being used to increase the penetration rate of substances through the skin, e.g., the use of penetration enhancers [9], electric forces [9], polymer devices and colloidal carriers, such as liposomes [24] and other types of vesicles [11].
