Scientists may have just taken a major step toward reversing Alzheimer's disease, at least in mice. A new study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West ...

Researchers used supramolecular nanoparticles to repair the brain’s vascular system and reverse Alzheimer’s in mice. Instead of carrying drugs, the nanoparticles themselves triggered natural clearance ...

Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is meant to protect the brain from noxious agents; however, it also significantly hinders the delivery of therapeutics to the brain. Several strategies have been employed ...

Nanomedicine, an interdisciplinary field merging the power of nanotechnology with the intricacies of medicine, has revolutionized healthcare on a scale previously unimaginable. By manipulating ...

Nanomedicine. 2012;7(8):1225-1233. Most of the strategies described for the passage of drugs across the BBB can be enhanced by nanotechnology and some of the mechanisms involved include: NPs open the ...
