Nanoparticle-Based Brain Targeted Delivery Systems
Presenting a very dismal prognosis, glioblastomas present as one of the most malignant brain tumors [1]. In addition to its low prognosis, glioblastomas account for ~70% of all astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors, making this one of the most common types of brain tumors [1]. Through the mutations of multiple pro-oncogenic genes, primary glioblastomas develop as other neoplasms but present as...
متن کاملNeuron-Targeted Nanoparticle for siRNA Delivery to Traumatic Brain Injuries.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect 2.5 million Americans per year, and survivors of TBI can develop long-term impairments in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functions. Currently, there are no treatments available to stop the long-term effects of TBI. Although the primary injury can only be prevented, there is an opportunity for intervention during the secondary injury, which persists ...
متن کاملUltrasound-targeted nanoparticle delivery across the blood-brain barrier
Background/introduction The delivery of systemically administered drugs and genes to the CNS is hindered by both the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits transport from the bloodstream to the brain to only a few privileged molecules, and the nanoporous electrostatically charged tissue space, denoted here as the “brain tissue barrier” (BTB). Our group engineers targeted drug and gene delivery...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Nanoparticle Targeted Drug Delivery
Nanomedicine is a promising application of nanotechnology in medicine, which can drastically improve drug delivery efficiency through targeted delivery. However, characterization of the nanoparticle targeted delivery process under vascular environment is very challenging due to the small scale of nanoparticles and the complex in vivo vascular system. To understand such complicated system, vario...
متن کاملBiomimetic strategies for targeted nanoparticle delivery
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery and imaging platforms have become increasingly popular over the past several decades. Among different design parameters that can affect their performance, the incorporation of targeting functionality onto nanoparticle surfaces has been a widely studied subject. Targeted formulations have the ability to improve efficacy and function by positively modulating tissu...
