To reveal the status of transforming liposome preparations into application. Methods: We analyzed research programs funded by the National Natural Science Foundation (NNSF) on liposome technology, pertinent patents in the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) database, and pertinent research papers published. Results: We have seen some issues during our research, eg. inadequate transformation from basic research to application. Conclusion: Our proposal is liposome research should be take more of industrial production into consideration under the guidance of the translational medicine, put more resource on key issues of liposome transformation, in order to speed up the transformation from basic research into industrial production.
