Chitosan nanoparticles are gaining attention as a therapeutic option for neurological disorders due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to be easily modified for targeted drug delivery.
These nanoparticles help overcome the blood-brain barrier, crucial for treating conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain tumors, by enhancing drug absorption and protecting therapies from degradation.
While promising results have been observed in animal studies, challenges such as large-scale production, regulatory issues, and the need for safety research still exist for their clinical use.
