Liposomal drug delivery for cancer therapy can be limited due to drug leakage in circulation. Here, we develop a new method to enhance the stability of actively loaded liposomal doxorubicin (DOX) through embedding a stiff nanobowl in the liposomal water cavity. Nanobowl-supported liposomal DOX (DOX@NbLipo) resists the influence of plasma protein and blood flow shear force to prevent drug leakage. This approach yields improved drug delivery to tumor sites and enhanced antitumor efficacy. Compared to alternative methods of modifying liposome surface and composition for stability, this approach designs a physical support for an all-aqueous nanoliposomal cavity. Nanobowl stabilization of liposomes is a simple and effective method to improve carrier stability and drug delivery.
