Targeted Nanocarriers for Brain Inflammation and Cancer Cachexia
Nanocarriers deliver anti-inflammatory therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier to activated microglia Background Delivering therapeutics to the brain remains a major drug-development challenge because the blood-brain barrier restricts systemic agents from reaching therapeutically relevant concentrations in the central nervous system. This barrier...
