The present disclosure discloses an engineered liposome with cell membrane proteins to reduce melanosome transport and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of cosmetics and biomedicine. The present disclosure provides the engineered liposome with cell membrane proteins to reduce melanosome transport and the preparation method thereof, which is easy to operate, requires no large-scale equipment, has few additives, and a preparation process is simple and environmentally friendly. The biomimetic liposome can significantly inhibit melanin transport. The fluorescence intensity of melanosomes in keratinocytes is found to decrease by 3.5-fold in a co-culture test of melanocytes and the keratinocytes, indicating that this biomimetic liposome is very effective in inhibiting accumulation of melanin in skin keratinocytes. These findings provide an effective strategy for reducing melanosome transfer to treat hyperpigmentation, while also introducing an alternate approach for regulating cellular communication of extracellular vesicles and organelles.
A biomimetic liposome, wherein the biomimetic liposome is a nanoscale phospholipid bilayer vesicle with an outer membrane consisting of a phospholipid bilayer and membrane proteins from cells and exosomes.
