Nanoparticle method may be able to inject drugs deep into the brain
Abstract:
A new way to fight Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases aims to deliver a drug deep into the brain using nanoparticles.
- Nanoparticle smart bombs used to target cancer cells
- Nanoparticle fear over anti-odour socks
- Nano-surgeons break the atomic bond
Alzheimer's is linked with the build up of damaging protein deposits in the brain and now a novel way to hinder this process is under development by a team at University College Dublin.
