Abstract

Lipid nanocarriers are the mainstream of nanotechnology-based advanced healthcare systems. This field has reported extensive research activity, promising results, and market acceptability over the past few decades. This profound success of lipid nanocarriers as therapeutic delivery systems is a result of their unique properties, that is, biocompatibility and biodegradability, possible delivery by multiple routes of administration, ease of formulation and scale up, amicable dosage form development, enhanced stability, bioavailability, and possible drug targeting. The chapter aims to give a detailed overview of various types of lipid nanocarriers along with methods of fabrication and characterization. The chapter also describes multiple applications of lipid nanocarriers in advanced therapeutics and elaborates on the current market opportunities and future prospects.
