“…This has been explored for delivery of nerve growth factor for Huntingon's disease (Kordower, et al, 1994). Nanocarriers have also been used as vehicles to assist in transporting chelating agents into the brain for iron capture and removal in Alzheimer's disease, also with potential in Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases (Liu, et al, 2009). Similar nanomedicine strategies can improve delivery of other small molecule therapies for genetic diseases, including hormones to control regulatory pathways, antibiotics, growth factors, cofactors, inhibitors or activators that act upstream or downstream of affected pathways, chaperones that favor proper protein folding, and other chemicals.…”
