Crossing the blood-brain barrier: Recent Advances in Nano-formulation Strategies for Central Nervous System Drug Delivery in Neurodegeneration and Brain Tumours

Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and brain tumours are leading causes of death and disability globally. Drug delivery for CNS illnesses is highly difficult because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Medications can be delivered to the central nervous system (CNS) via nano-delivery systems, which can also enh...

Emerging drug delivery system to the brain: using extracellular vesicles and liposomes hybrid platform

Abstract Efficient drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a major challenge because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts penetration of most drugs. In this review, we summarize key principles of a unique liposome- and extracellular vesicles (EV)-based drug delivery systems for CNS, highlighting th...
