What are Some Examples of Nanotechnology Applications in Neuroprotection?
Several applications of nanotechnology in neuroprotection include:
1. Nanoparticle-based Drug Delivery: Using nanoparticles to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidants, or neurotrophic factors directly to the brain. 2. Gene Therapy: Employing nanocarriers to deliver genes that can promote neuronal survival and regeneration. 3. Neuroimaging: Utilizing quantum dots and other nanomaterials to enhance imaging techniques, allowing for better diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases. 4. Neuroregeneration: Using nanomaterials to create scaffolds that support the growth and differentiation of neuronal cells.
