Researchers at UCL have made a breakthrough in the way that drugs could be delivered to the brain.


A new class of drugs – peptide drugs – are now at the forefront of tackling this problem, which, if solved, could revolutionise delivery of pain relief as well as offer hope in treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Enabling such drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier is key to revolutionising the treatment of these conditions...

I'm one of the authors of that paper (I did some of the multiphoton microscopy imaging for it) so if you have any questions I could help with, let me know!
