Need to Explore Nanodelivery of Stem Cells with Multimodal Drug like Cerebrolysin for Effective Strategies for Enhanced Neuroprotection and Neurorecovery in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Journal Title: International Journal of Nanomaterials, Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) is vulnerable to various kinds of physical, chemical, metabolic or age-related insults leading to neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases either caused by aging or following trauma to the CNS results in misery for large number of people across the Globe involving high social costs for them to maintain a good life [1]. Thus, there is an urgent need to find novel solutions to reduce the burden of neurodegenerative disease induced problems in our aging populations. In this context, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is causing huge social burden for the victims as no such therapy available for them to improve their lifetime disabilities [2,3]. This is especially critical to Military personnel who are the victims of brain or spinal cord injuries during combat operations [4].

Highly Monodisperse Chitosan Nanoparticles Prepared by a Combined Triple-Method for Potential Use as Drug Carriers
Chitosan (CS) as a biodegradable polymer with unique bio-attachment properties that makes it favorable to be used in biomedical applications. Insolubility in water is the problem with use of CS. The purpose of this study...
Synthesis of Carboxylic Functionalized Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes and Their Application for Static Charge Dissipative Fibers
In the present study, multi wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were chemically functionalized by concentrated nitric acid refluxing for 8 hours to form acid functionalized CNTs (FCNTs). Fourier transformed infrared spectra rev...
Graphene Solar Cells-Will it be the Ultimate Power Converter?
Solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) cells involve the direct conversion of light energy into electrical energy. PV cells are basically p-n junctions made from layers of semiconducting materials. Under light illumination, ei...
Combined In vitro Effects of TiO2 Nanoparticles and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) on HepG2 Hepatocytes
Introduction: Professional workers that manufacture or use titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based paints are exposed to potentially toxic TiO2 nanomaterials as well as to different paint solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)...
