Vesicles are self-assembled nanosized structures that result from the auto-organization of amphiphilic compounds into closed bilayers. These systems are highly attractive subjects of fundamental research owing to their role as biomimetic models of cell membranes and compartmentalization systems. Vesicles also display very interesting features and properties for practical applications, namely as superior nanocontainers for encapsulation of functional molecules and materials. Exerting control over the formation, dissociation and permeability of these containers is therefore of paramount importance for many of their potentials applications. Being light the stimulus of choice for remote spatiotemporal control, we have compiled and revised selected published works on photoresponsive vesicles with the aim of providing an overview of the main strategies, advantages and limitations of such systems.

囊泡是自组装的纳米级结构，其是由两亲性化合物自组织成封闭的双层而产生的。这些系统由于其作为细胞膜和区室化系统的仿生模型，因此成为基础研究的极具吸引力的主题。囊泡还显示出对于实际应用非常有趣的特征和性质，即作为用于封装功能分子和材料的优良纳米容器。因此，对于这些容器的许多潜在应用而言，对这些容器的形成，解离和渗透性进行控制至关重要。出于对远程时空控制的刺激选择，我们汇编并修订了已出版的有关光敏囊泡的著作，目的是概述主要策略，
