Background:
This study aimed to elaborate on all the aspects of multivesicular liposomes, including structure, function, topology, etc. Liposomes are a unique drug delivery system, in which both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules can be incorporated. Particularly, multivesicular liposomes have more advantages than other liposomes because of their unique structure. This study provides an overview of several works already performed by various researchers in this field. Numerous studies have reported on preparing and evaluating multivesicular liposomes for drug delivery applications. This study summarizes the process of formulating multivesicular liposomes and their application in drug delivery systems and provides details about how to resolve the problem of limited solubility and stability of biomolecules, along with controlled drug release kinetics, with the possibility of loading various drugs. There is no doubt that multivesicular liposome opens new avenues to develop novel drug delivery system for achieving the desired functional performances and expanding the applications in the drug delivery area.

Vesicular Trasport: Endocytosis, Transcytosis and Exocytosis
Endocytosis is a cellular mechanism that involves the inward folding of the cell membrane to create vesicles that capture and transport large drug molecules. This process comprises two distinct methods: pinocytosis (often referred to as "cell drinking") and phagocytosis (often referred to as "cell...
