The Strategies of Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery and Release

Various strategies have sprung to explore appropriate solutions for delivering therapeutic agents into the brain. Recently, breakthroughs of nanomedicines provide an excellent window for brain targeting and thus can be effectively used to treat a wide variety of brain diseases. This chapter comprehensively depicts various types of nanoformulations and novel drug delivery and release approaches of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems in brain disease. Moreover, the shortages of advanced nanotechnology-based drug delivery system are also discussed in the last part to broaden the understanding of the design of nanomedicines for brain drug delivery and release.
