Due to the lack of secure, efficient, and patient-friendly therapies for neurodegenerative disorders, there is a rising demand for innovative approaches. Despite the limited number of nanocarriers approved for human use, they have demonstrated significant potential in preclinical and, in some instances, clinical trials. In alignment with this objective, the chapters of the book are structured to... Read more
