“This book will be helpful for healthcare professionals in treating neurodegenerative disorders. It will give
readers profound insights into the recent uses of several cutting-edge nanocarriers that contain active
pharmaceutical ingredients for the effective treatment of illnesses connected to neurons.”
—From the Foreword by Dr. Brahmeshwar Mishra, Professor and Former Head, Department of
Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology, IIT, Uttar Pradesh, India“4 stars / score: 91. Provides an informative overview of the cutting-edge applications of various nanocarriers that encapsulate active compounds to effectively treat NDs. . . . This book is genuinely forward-thinking in the field of nanomedicine and neurodegenerative diseases. It is a high-quality resource for healthcare practitioners and scientists in drug research and development that serves as a detailed reference as well as a look into the future of therapies for neurodegenerative and similar disorders. I absolutely recommend this book in academic settings, for researchers pursuing neuropharmacology or nanotherapeutics drug design and development, and for clinicians who want a deeper understanding of where treatment innovation is heading.”
