Bioinspired Nanomaterials for Parkinson's Disease: Engineering Membrane Interfaces to Overcome the Blood-Brain Barrier and Enable Neuron-Targeted Delivery.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which gives rise to characteristic motor and non-motor behavioral impairments. Disease-modifying therapies remain elusive, largely due to the restrictive nature of the blood...
