Nanoparticle Platform Delivers Drugs Across Blood-Brain Barrier in Mice
Medscape (Reuters Health) print
2021-01-15
A novel nanoparticle drug delivery system had a therapeutic effect in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI), regardless of whether the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was physically breached or intact, researchers say.
Dr. Noelle Comolli, Chair of Chemical Engineering at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, commented by email, "These nanoparticle platforms are becoming increasingly common, and similar to the lipid nanoparticle coating used in the new mRNA vaccines for COVID. These show great promise, since the increased permeability can be used in so many applications, not just TBI."
