What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in BBB Penetration?
Nanotechnology has several applications in overcoming the BBB, including:
Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents directly to the brain, improving the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Gene Therapy: Nanocarriers can transport genetic material across the BBB to treat genetic disorders affecting the CNS. Imaging and Diagnostics: Nanoparticles can be used as contrast agents in imaging techniques like MRI, enhancing the diagnosis of brain diseases.
