Aquasomes are spherical, nanoscale particles ranging from 60-300nm that are used to deliver drugs, antigens, and other biomolecules. They have a ceramic or calcium phosphate core coated with a polyhydroxyl oligomer film. This film stabilizes the nanoparticle and allows for the adsorption of biologically active molecules. Aquasomes mimic the water-like properties of cells, protecting and preserving fragile molecules while maintaining a high degree of surface exposure and targeting ability. They are synthesized by first fabricating the ceramic core, then coating it with carbohydrates like cellobiose or citrate, and finally immobilizing the drug or biomolecule onto the coated surface. Potential applications of aquasomes include vaccine delivery,
