Application of Nanotechnology of treatment modalities for Alzheimer's disease
Author(s): Kiriacos Caroline*
Alzheimer's disease is primary neurodegenerative pathology of unknown etiology and influenced by several factors with
characteristic neuropathological and neurochemical features. Currently, drugs approved for the treatment of this disease
only allow relieving symptoms and are accompanied by several side effects. Nanotechnology appears as an alternative for the
treatment of Alzheimer's, as it offers many advantages to modern medicine allowing a non-invasive and targeted diagnosis and
treatment, reducing adverse reactions and systemic effects. The article aims to recognize the potential of using nanoparticles
in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, identifying the most promising treatments and their possible side effects. Gold
nanoparticles are capable of crossing BHE, carrying essential drugs to inhibit the aggregation of peptides, as well as dissolve
pre-existing.. View more»
