Polymer coated nanoparticles to be used in treatment for brain and spinal cord cells

摘要

Purdue University researchers have developed a method of using nanoparticles to deliver treatments to injured brain and spinal cord cells. A team led by Richard Borgens of the School of Veterinary Medicine's Center for Paralysis Research and Welden School of Biomedical Engineering coated silica nanoparticles with a polymer to target and repair the injured guinea pig spinal cords.
