Nanotechnology Methods for Neurological Diseases and Brain Tumors: Drug Delivery across the
Blood-Brain Barrier compiles the latest (and future potential) treatment strategies for brain
tumors and neurological diseases in particular Alzheimer's Parkinson's and stroke those that
bypass the blood brain barrier. The current understanding of brain drug delivery and access is
discussed in Chapter One with the next section focusing on the implementation of the
nose-to-brain intranasal route in brain-targeted drug delivery. In addition
nanotechnology-based brain drug delivery is covered in Chapter Three. This avenue offers
impressive improvement in the treatment of neurological diseases and brain tumors by using
bio-engineered systems that interact with biological systems at a molecular level. In Chapter
Four emphasis is placed on the need for brain-targeted experimental models that mimic disease
conditions. Final chapters discuss the very latest advances in targeted treatment strategies
for neurological diseases and brain tumors.
