The first research on liposomes took place in the mid-19th century. It was then that lecithin was isolated from egg yolk for the first time. The phenomenon of swelling of lipids in aqueous solution was then observed. This was done by Maurice Gobley. In the early 1960s, English biophysicist Alec Bangham noticed that lipids had a natural tendency to spontaneously transform into a closed, double bilayer vesicle. Bangham called the discovered structures "spherulites". In subsequent years, this name evolved through the term "banghosomes", giving today's name - liposomes. Liposomes can be carriers of various drugs, including anticancer ones.
