What are Nanoparticles and How Do They Work in Neuroprotection?
Nanoparticles are tiny particles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size. They can be engineered to carry therapeutic agents, such as drugs or genes, directly to the site of injury or disease. For example, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and metallic nanoparticles can be designed to bypass the BBB and deliver neuroprotective agents directly to the brain, thereby increasing the efficacy and reducing side effects.
