Targeting brain inflammation with bioconjugated nanoparticles
Brain inflammation has been implicated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Activated microglia and endothelial cells induce production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and overexpress pro-inflammatory mediators that perpetuate tissue damage. Current treatments are not effective agai...
