ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a composition containing a sized liposome comprising a lipid and an inducer; the sized liposome has a diameter of at most about 1 micron and the inducer is present in an amount effective to induce interdigitation-fusion of the sized liposome. Also provided herein are interdigitation-fusion liposomes and gels, and methods of making the same.
