Cover Story: Lipid nano-systems stand out as one of the most attractive vehicles that can fuse with endothelial cells and transport active compounds. Despite numerous studies conducted on these carriers, their safety and efficacy still cannot be guaranteed, taking into consideration all aspects from their physical–chemical and biopharmaceutical properties to all the biological characteristics of living organisms. Thus, the question arises of weather and how the features of these systems will affect their fate in different cell lines? This research includes comparative studies of the behavior of liposomes and nanostructured lipid-carriers in a series of well-structured in vitro tests that could assess their interactions with the hCMEC/D3 and SH-SY5Y cell lines as an in vitro model of the blood–brain barrier and neuronal function, respectively.
