The specification relates to an internal structured self assembled liposome (ISSAL), containing a nuclear core molecule or complex including a first affinity enhancing molecule and a phospholipid-affinity enhancing complex having a phospholipid coupled to second affinity enhancing molecule, wherein the second affinity enhancing molecule couples to the first affinity enhancing molecule. The ISSALs can be used in, for example and without limitation, the field of drug delivery, vaccination, imaging contrast agents, and nanotechnology, in which liposomes of ordered, self-assembling structure are employed to deliver soluble or insoluble molecules to any sub-cellular address.
