Nanomedicine-Based Approaches for the Treatment of Dementia

Author(s) : Umesh Gupta, Prashant Kesharwani

Book Description:

Nanomedicine-Based Approaches for the Treatment of Dementia" investigates a diverse range of promising strategies aimed at diagnosing and treating dementia. The book provides introductory sections on dementia and brain disorders, followed by detailed chapters focusing on the challenges associated with drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier and its current status. By leveraging the advancements in nanomedical technologies, this publication assists readers in the design and development of novel drug delivery systems and devices for dementia treatment. Although numerous drug delivery systems have been developed for dementia, their efficacy remains limited due to the heterogeneity of dementia as an umbrella term encompassing various neurodegenerative conditions that disrupt brain function. Consequently, there is an urgent need for innovative technologies and nano drug delivery systems to enhance the targeting and delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents specifically for the treatment of dementia.
