"Revolutionizing Medicine: Bioengineers on the Verge of Breaking the Blood-Brain Barrier"

Bioengineers are on the verge of breaking the blood-brain barrier using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) for treating neurological conditions like seizures and Alzheimer’s. The University of Pennsylvania researchers have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of their approach in mice and hope to further test it in various animal models. This breakthrough could pave the way for targeted treatments for a variety of neurological disorders, including brain cancer and strokes, and potentially help cross other barriers in the body.
