Liposome triggered content release through molecular recognition of inositol trisphosphate.

A stimuli-responsive liposomal platform that is selectively activated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) over eleven other phosphorylated metabolites is reported. Dye release assays validated dose-dependent release of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic cargo driven by IP 3 , showcasing the potential of this platform for triggered release and sensing applications.
