What Does SUV Stand For?
SUV stands for Small Unilamellar Vesicle
SUV, or Small Unilamellar Vesicle, refers to a type of lipid-based nanoparticle characterized by a single lipid bilayer surrounding an internal aqueous space. These vesicles are typically small, with a diameter ranging from approximately 20 to 100 nanometers, and are widely utilized in drug delivery systems due to their ability to encapsulate a variety of therapeutic agents, enhance bioavailability, and improve the stability of formulations. Their unique structure and composition make SUVs valuable tools in biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology.
