Targeting specific brain districts for advanced nanotherapies: A review from the perspective of precision nanomedicine.

Numerous studies are focused on nanoparticle penetration into the brain functionalizing them with ligands useful to cross the blood-brain barrier. However, cell targeting is also crucial, given that cerebral pathologies frequently affect specific brain cells or areas. Functionalize nanoparticles with the most appropriate targeting elements, tailor their physical parameters, and consider the brain's complex anatomy are essential aspects for precise therapy and diagnosis.
