Abstract
Liposomes are largely used in fundamental medical research and especially in physio-pharmacological one. They are often used as transporters for different types of substances including drugs. That is why a comprehensive understanding of their interaction within the body is extremely important. There is a great amount of experimental data in this respect in the field literature, few even contradictory. Because of this great diversity of data there is need for some systematization which will be useful in understanding the liposome biological interactions. This material tries succinctly to present such a synthetic view, which, because of the huge amount of data published in the last 20 years, will surely be subjected to refinements.
