Magnetic nanoparticles can open the blood-brain barrier and deliver molecules directly to the brain, state researchers from the University of Montreal, Polytechnique Montréal, and CHU Sainte-Justine. This barrier runs inside almost all vessels in the brain and protects it from elements circulating in the blood that may be toxic to the brain. The research is important as currently, 98% of therapeutic molecules are also unable … Continue reading Radio-controlled nanobots open the blood-brain barrier just the right amount in murine studies.
