"Transfersomes are a special type of liposomes, consisting of bilayer former as phospholipid and edge activator (EA). These vesicles are more elastic than the conventional liposomes (1). Elasticity in these vesicles is accredited to the presence of an edge activator, which is a single chain surfactant with (2) a high radius of curvature, able of weakening the lipid bilayers of the vesicles and increasing their deformability and flexibility."
