The administration of genic therapy and drug therapeutics by aerosols is part of a new technology for agents to reach the lungs specifically and uniformly.

Cationic liposomes have been used for aerosols with advantages. Cationic liposomes efficiently mediate the transinfection of nondividing cells. This is important, because the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract are highly differentiated and divide very slowly or not at all. In the second place, the liposomes are neither infectious nor immunogenic.
