Using nanoparticles to deliver targeted treatment for stroke caused by blocked blood flow

Updated

Abstract

-based drug delivery systems may enhance treatment outcomes for .

  • Ischemic stroke is associated with high mortality and disability rates globally.
  • Limited efficacy of current therapeutic agents poses a challenge in treating ischemic stroke.
  • Nanoparticles have unique properties that allow them to cross the blood-brain barrier.
  • Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in ischemic stroke include oxidative stress, glutamate excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and cell death.
  • The classification of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems according to these mechanisms aids in targeting specific physiological pathways.
  • The review discusses potential benefits and challenges of using nanoparticles in ischemic stroke treatment.
