Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticle-mediated brain drug delivery: Overcoming blood-brain barrier to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: The use of nanoparticle (NP) formulations able to encapsulate molecules with therapeutic value, while targeting specific transport processes in the brain vasculature, may enhance drug transport through the BBB in neurodegenerative/ischemic disorders and target relevant regions in thebrain for regenerative processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-124 loaded nanoparticles enhance brain repair in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Clear evidences are provided to support the use of miR-124 NPs as a new therapeutic approach to boost endogenous brain repair mechanisms in a setting of neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histamine induces microglia activation and dopaminergic neuronal toxicity via H1 receptor activation.

TL;DR: The results highlight the relevance of histamine in the modulation of microglial activity that ultimately may interfere with neuronal survival in the context of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and, eventually, other neurodegenerative diseases which are accompanied by microglia-induced neuroinflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA: Basic concepts and implications for regeneration and repair of neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: The relationship between miRNA, neurodegeneration and neurogenesis, and the benefits, outcomes and limitations of therapies using miRNA technology for neurodegnerative disorders will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gold nanostructures: synthesis, properties, and neurological applications.

TL;DR: A broad range of neurological applications of GNS-based materials to improve clinical diagnosis and therapy includes neurotoxicity, targeted delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system (CNS), neurochemical sensing, neuromodulation, neuroimaging, neurotherapy, tissue engineering, and neural regeneration.
