Nanoparticles for Precise & Targeted Treatment of Neurological Conditions
Problem: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the second leading cause of death worldwide, affecting around 600,000 Americans annually. However, pharmacological treatment of AIS is difficult due to ineffective and nonspecific targeting to blood brain barrier epitopes via intravenous administration. Over 100 drugs have been tried and failed in clinical trials...

Strategies for Mitigating Acute Side Effects of Lung-Targeted Nanocarriers
Approaches and Design Techniques to Alleviate Coagulation-Related Acute Side Effects of Lung-Targeted Nanocarriers Problem: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) play a crucial role in drug delivery, enabling targeted drug administration to specific tissues. LNPs tailored for lung-specific delivery often incorporate cationic (positively charged) lipids. Unfortunately,...
