Potential Use of Liposomes loaded with nano-particles to pass through the blood-brain barrier

With the engineering design project on the brain, I've begun to find papers that look into the possibility of potentially using liposomes filled with nano-particles to pass through the blood-brain barrier fairly interesting.

Liposomes as a potential drug delivery methodology is still a thing of the future however, research into the potential of this delivery method seems to show a large amount of therapeutic promise, especially when coupled with the use of nano-particles as the main means of  treatment.


The link below takes us to a peer reviewed article where the merits of future drug delivery methods are discussed and weighed.
