<title><![CDATA[Crossing the blood-brain barrier with nanotechnology]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The challenge in treating most brain disorders is overcoming the difficulty of delivering therapeutic agents to specific regions of the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier - a tight seal of endothelial cells that lines the blood vessels in the brain - is a physiological checkpoint that selectively allows the entry of certain molecules from blood circulation into the brain. The problem for scientists is that the BBB does not differentiate what it keeps out. BBB strictly limits transport into the brain through both physical (tight junctions) and metabolic (enzymes) barriers. With very few exceptions, only nonionic and low molecular weight molecules soluble in fat clear the BBB. For instance, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and antidepressants meet these criteria. However, large molecules needed to deliver drugs do not. The utter scarcity of techniques for brain-specific delivery of therapeutic molecules using non-invasive approaches (like drilling a hole in the skull) has led researchers to increasingly explore the vast potential of nanotechnology toward the diagnosis and treatment of diseases/disorders incurable with present techniques.<script language="javascript">document.write("<img width=1 height=1 src='http://www.feedzilla.com/tools/tracking_pixel.asp?tool=feed_free&prov=&cat=science&cat2=Nanotechnology&kw=&ip=38.103.63.16&ref='>");</script><BR>Brought to you by <a href='http://www.feedzilla.com' title='Add free content to your site and blog.'>Feedzilla.com</a>]]></description>
