Can nanotechnology enhance drug delivery to the brain?
Yes, one of the major applications of nanotechnology in neurology is enhancing drug delivery. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a significant obstacle in treating brain disorders because it restricts the passage of most therapeutic agents. Nanocarriers such as liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles can cross the BBB and deliver drugs directly to the brain, increasing the efficacy and reducing side effects.
