Non‐Invasive Brain Targeted Delivery of Cannabidiol for Alleviating Neuroinflammatory Disease
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The glucose‐functionalized nanoparticles (GNPs) are developed for the brain‐targeted delivery of cannabidiol (CBD). GNPs bypass the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) via glucose transporter‐1 (GLUT‐1) and release CBD in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Trihexyphenidyl rescues the deficit in dopamine neurotransmission in a mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Neurobiology of Disease, 2019 Trihexyphenidyl, a nonselective muscarinic receptor antagonist, is the small molecule drug of choice for the treatment of DYT1 dystonia, but it is poorly tolerated due to significant side effects.

Pinpointing brainstem mechanisms responsible for autonomic dysfunction in Rett syndrome:therapeutic perspectives for 5-HT1A agonists [PDF]
, 2014 Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by loss of function of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Reduced function of this ubiquitous transcriptional regulator has a devastating effect on the central nervous system.
