These membranes form a continuous barrier around all <a href="/wiki/Cell_(biology)" title="Cell (biology)">cells</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Cell_membrane" title="Cell membrane">cell membranes</a> of almost all <a href="/wiki/Organisms" class="mw-redirect" title="Organisms">organisms</a> and many <a href="/wiki/Virus" title="Virus">viruses</a> are made of a lipid bilayer, as are the <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_envelope" title="Nuclear envelope">nuclear membrane</a> surrounding the <a href="/wiki/Cell_nucleus" title="Cell nucleus">cell nucleus</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Biological_membrane" title="Biological membrane">membranes</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Membrane-bound_organelle" class="mw-redirect" title="Membrane-bound organelle">membrane-bound organelles</a> in the cell. The lipid bilayer is the barrier that keeps <a href="/wiki/Ion" title="Ion">ions</a>, <a href="/wiki/Protein" title="Protein">proteins</a> and other molecules where they are needed and prevents them from diffusing into areas where they should not be. Lipid bilayers are ideally suited to this role, even though they are only a few <a href="/wiki/Nanometer" class="mw-redirect" title="Nanometer">nanometers</a> in width,<sup id="cite_ref-andersen2007_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-andersen2007-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> because they are impermeable to most water-soluble (<a href="/wiki/Hydrophilic" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrophilic">hydrophilic</a>) molecules. Bilayers are particularly impermeable to ions, which allows cells to regulate salt concentrations and <a href="/wiki/PH" title="PH">pH</a> by transporting ions across their membranes using proteins called <a href="/wiki/Ion_transporter" title="Ion transporter">ion pumps</a>. </p><p>Biological bilayers are usually composed of <a href="/wiki/Amphiphile" title="Amphiphile">amphiphilic</a> <a href="/wiki/Phospholipid" title="Phospholipid">phospholipids</a> that have a hydrophilic phosphate head and a <a href="/wiki/Hydrophobic" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrophobic">hydrophobic</a> tail consisting of two fatty acid chains. Phospholipids with certain head groups can alter the surface chemistry of a bilayer and can, for example, serve as signals as well as "anchors" for other molecules in the membranes of cells.<sup id="cite_ref-Divecha1995_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Divecha1995-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Just like the heads, the tails of lipids can also affect membrane properties, for instance by determining the <a href="/wiki/Phase_(matter)" title="Phase (matter)">phase</a> of the bilayer. The bilayer can adopt a solid <a href="/wiki/Gel" title="Gel">gel</a> phase state at lower temperatures but undergo <a href="/wiki/Phase_transition" title="Phase transition">phase transition</a> to a <a href="/wiki/Fluids" class="mw-redirect" title="Fluids">fluid state</a> at higher temperatures, and the chemical properties of the lipids' tails influence at which temperature this happens. The packing of lipids within the bilayer also affects its mechanical properties, including its resistance to stretching and bending. Many of these properties have been studied with the use of artificial "model" bilayers produced in a lab. <a href="/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and_chemistry)" title="Vesicle (biology and chemistry)">Vesicles</a> made by model bilayers have also been used clinically to deliver drugs. </p><p>The structure of <a href="/wiki/Biological_membrane" title="Biological membrane">biological membranes</a> typically includes several types of molecules in addition to the phospholipids comprising the bilayer. A particularly important example in animal cells is <a href="/wiki/Cholesterol" title="Cholesterol">cholesterol</a>, which helps strengthen the bilayer and decrease its permeability. Cholesterol also helps regulate the activity of certain <a href="/wiki/Integral_membrane_protein" title="Integral membrane protein">integral membrane proteins</a>. Integral membrane proteins function when incorporated into a lipid bilayer, and they are held tightly to the lipid bilayer with the help of an <a href="/wiki/Annular_lipid_shell" title="Annular lipid shell">annular lipid shell</a>. Because bilayers define the boundaries of the cell and its compartments, these membrane proteins are involved in many intra- and inter-cellular signaling processes. Certain kinds of membrane proteins are involved in the process of fusing two bilayers together. This fusion allows the joining of two distinct structures as in the <a href="/wiki/Acrosome_reaction" title="Acrosome reaction">acrosome reaction</a> during <a href="/wiki/Fertilization" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertilization">fertilization</a> of an <a href="/wiki/Egg_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Egg (biology)">egg</a> by a <a href="/wiki/Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a>, or the entry of a <a href="/wiki/Virus" title="Virus">virus</a> into a cell. Because lipid bilayers are fragile and invisible in a traditional microscope, they are a challenge to study. Experiments on bilayers often require advanced techniques like <a href="/wiki/Electron_microscopy" class="mw-redirect" title="Electron microscopy">electron microscopy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atomic_force_microscopy" title="Atomic force microscopy">atomic force microscopy</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure_and_organization">Structure and organization</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lipid_bilayer&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Structure and organization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When phospholipids are exposed to water, they <a href="/wiki/Molecular_self-assembly" title="Molecular self-assembly">self-assemble</a> into a two-layered sheet with the hydrophobic tails pointing toward the center of the sheet.

When a vesicle is produced inside the cell and fuses with the plasma membrane to release its contents into the extracellular space, this process is known as exocytosis. In the reverse process, a region of the cell membrane will dimple inwards and eventually pinch off, enclosing a portion of the extracellular fluid to transport it into the cell. Endocytosis and exocytosis rely on very different molecular machinery to function, but the two processes are intimately linked and could not work without each other.

(Note- the term “liposome” is in essence synonymous with “<a href="/wiki/Vesicle_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Vesicle (biology)">vesicle</a>” except that vesicle is a general term for the structure whereas liposome refers to only artificial not natural vesicles) The basic idea of liposomal drug delivery is that the drug is encapsulated in solution inside the liposome then injected into the patient. These drug-loaded liposomes travel through the system until they bind at the target site and rupture, releasing the drug. In theory, liposomes should make an ideal drug delivery system since they can isolate nearly any hydrophilic drug, can be grafted with molecules to target specific tissues and can be relatively non-toxic since the body possesses biochemical pathways for <a href="/wiki/Metabolize" class="mw-redirect" title="Metabolize">degrading</a> lipids.<sup id="cite_ref-Immordino2006_97-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Immordino2006-97"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>97<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first generation of drug delivery liposomes had a simple lipid composition and suffered from several limitations.
