Getting Nanoparticles into the Brain

Abstract:
Reporting its work in the Journal of Controlled Release, a team led by Maria Angela Vandelli, Ph.D., created nanoparticles capable of crossing the normally impenetrable blood-brain barrier by turning to molecules called opioid peptides that the body uses as its own natural painkiller.
