Theranostic Quantum Dots for Crossing Blood-Brain Barrier in vitro and Providing Therapy of HIV-associated Encephalopathy

Theranostic Quantum Dots for Crossing Blood-Brain Barrier in vitro and Providing Therapy of HIV-associated Encephalopathy

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex physiological checkpoint that restricts the free diffusion of circulating molecules from the blood into the central nervous system (CNS). Delivering of drugs and other active agents across the blood brain barrier (BBB) is one of the major technical challen...
