New nanoparticles deliver therapy throughout the brain and edit Alzheimer’s gene in mice

by Laura Red Eagle, University of Wisconsin-Madison Researchers at UW-Madison have engineered silicone nanoparticles to cross the blood-brain barrier in mice to deliver brain-wide gene editing therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Credit: Jeff Miller Gene therapies have the potential to treat neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, but they face a common barrier—the blood-brain barrier. Now, researchers at the...
