Nano Particles to Cross the Blood Brain Barrier

Only slightly interesting despite the title:

Apawu AK, Curley SM, Dixon AR, Hali M, Sinan M, Braun RD, Castracane J, Cacace AT, Bergkvist M, Holt AG.

MRI Compatible MS2 Nanoparticles Designed to Cross the Blood-Brain-Barrier: Providing a Path towards Tinnitus Treatment.

Abstract:

Basically the nano-particle they report about is build out of "natural" ingredients, which (hopefully) gives it several desirable qualities like bio-degradability over synthetic nano particles.

While the title mentions tinnitus, the article itself only has a short paragraph talking about how tinnitus treatment would benefit from being able to cross the blood brain barrier and target certain brain regions with nano-particles.

However, some of the authors indeed do tinnitus and hearing loss related research.

 

Same team but not the same content:

Are there nano drugs to treat tinnitus?

 

That was an interesting read
A summary of status quo in tinnitus research + presentation of a new, possible treatment in the works for tinnitus, imo.
