Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with no effective disease-modifying treatments. The blood-brain barrier hinders drug delivery to the brain, limiting therapeutic efficacy. Nanoparticle-based systems have emerged as promising tools to overcome these challenges. This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle technologies for AD treatment, including liposomes, polymeric, inorganic, and biomimetic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, improve stability and bioavailability, and enable targeted delivery to affected brain regions. Functionalization strategies further enhance their therapeutic potential. Multifunctional nanoparticles combining therapeutic and diagnostic properties offer theranostic approaches. While progress has been made, challenges related to safety, targeting precision, and clinical translation remain. Future perspectives emphasize the need for collaborative efforts to optimize nanoparticle design, conduct rigorous studies, and accelerate the development of effective nanotherapeutics. With continued innovation, nanoparticle-based delivery systems hold great promise for revolutionizing AD treatment.
