Delivery of siRNA to the brain using a combination of nose-to-brain delivery and cell-penetrating peptide-modified nano-micelles.

TLDR
It is found that MPEG-PCL-Tat accelerated transport along the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathway because of its high permeation across the nasal mucosa, which improved brain delivery compared to intravenous delivery of dextran either with or without MPEG-CPP, Tat.
