Targeting the Transferrin Receptor to Transport Antisense Oligonucleotides Across the Mammalian Blood-Brain Barrier

Introduction In recent years, oligonucleotide-based therapeutic technologies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), have been widely applied in the treatment of various neurological disorders. The basis for their application is that these technologies can selectively regulate target RNA molecules, which are ...

Nigrostriatal blood-brain barrier opening in Parkinson's disease

The Opening of the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Nigrostriatal System in Parkinson’s Disease Research Background Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, leading to impaired dopaminergic transmission in the striatum. Currently, there are...
