Abstract
, self-assemble into non-lamellar bicontinuous cubic phases in excess water. In this Review, we have endeavored to outline the composition, preparation techniques, drug-encapsulation approaches, and drug-loading and -release mechanisms of cubosomes. Furthermore, the prospective routes for cubosomes, their challenges, and future potentialities are addressed.
