Study reveals new way to unlock blood-brain barrier, potentially opening doors to treat brain and nerve diseases

Researchers developed an innovative approach -- demonstrated in mouse models and isolated human brain tissue -- to safely and effectively deliver therapeutics into the brain, providing new possibilities for treating a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases. The study introduces a first-of-its-kind blood-brain barrier-crossing conjugate (BCC) system, designed to overcome the protective barrier that typically blocks large biomolecules from reaching the central nervous system (CNS).
