Transferosomes are the modified form of liposomes which are considered to be highly elastic and deformable. These modified forms of liposome were developed by Gregor Ceve for the first time in 1990 (Blume and Ceve 1990). Transferosomes are almost similar to liposomes in their basic structural arrangement; the only difference is that the outer layer of transferosomes is more complex in nature compared to liposomes. These nanomaterials reported having enhanced flexibility due to edge activator presence in lipid bilayer (Abdallah 2013). Usually, transferosomes are formed by self‐controlled assembly and they are efficient to cross the various transport barriers, and hence are selectively used as carriers for the delivery of drugs and other macromolecules instead of liposomes (Sharma 2019).
