What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in ALS Treatment?
Current ALS treatments are limited, but nanotechnology offers several promising avenues for therapeutic development. Nanocarriers can deliver drugs directly to affected neurons, reducing side effects and improving efficacy. Nanoparticles can also be used to transport gene-editing tools, like CRISPR/Cas9, to correct genetic mutations associated with ALS. Additionally, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene can be used to create scaffolds for neuron regeneration.
