Intranasal Administration of a Naked Plasmid Reached Brain Cells and Expressed Green Fluorescent Protein, a Candidate for Future Gene Therapy Studies
Intranasal administration (Int adm) has been well-studied and offers the possibility to deliver larger molecular weight biologics, such as proteins, viral vectors, nanoparticles, and naked plasmids to the brain and treat a variety of diseases in the central nervous system. The predominant challenge in this field is finding efficient vectors that are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
