Innovative therapy delivery system may help fight brain inflammation

In recent years, researchers and medical professionals have been exploring various innovative approaches to deliver therapies to the brain, especially for conditions involving inflammation. Traditional drug delivery methods face challenges in efficiently reaching and treating the brain due to the blood-brain barrier, a protective barrier that restricts the passage of many substances from the bloodstream into the brain. Here are some innovative approaches that have been explored: Nanoparticle Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be designed to carry therapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier, providing a targeted and controlled release of drugs to specific areas of the brain. Focused Ultrasound: This non-invasive technique uses ultrasound waves to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing drugs to penetrate the brain more effectively. Intranasal Delivery: The nasal route can bypass the blood-brain barrier to some extent. Therapies delivered through the nasal passages can...
