Brain diseases and disorders, such as dementia and glioblastoma, are among the deadliest diseases in humans, and put an overwhelming burden on healthcare systems. Despite recent progress in elucidating the causes of brain diseases, a limited amount of effective therapeutics have been developed. One major obstacle is the efficient delivery of therapeutic agents across the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) into the affected region of the brain. Utilizing nanoparticles as a drug delivery system provides a simple and effective approach, with improved efficacy and bioavailability. In the last two decades, numerous advances have been made in this field, which will bring nanomedicine closer to the clinic and bring new therapeutic options for the treatment of brain diseases which have proved challenging to treat. Such advancements include improvements in the novel design of nanoparticles with tissue compatibility, versatile loading capacity, BBB penetration ability and greater target specificity.

Nanomedicine-Based Approaches for the Treatment of Dementia explores a wide range of promising approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of dementia. The book begins with introductory sections on dementia and brain ailments that are followed by further chapters that discuss detailed information about challenges of drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier as well as the current status. This book helps readers design and develop novel drug delivery systems and devices for the treatment of dementia that take advantage of recent advances in nanomedical technologies. Numerous drug delivery systems have been developed recently for dementia. Unfortunately, most of them are ineffective since dementia is not a single disease. It is an umbrella term for several neurodegenerative conditions which alter brain functions. Due to this, there is an urgent need for innovative technologies/nano drug delivery systems to improve the targeting and delivery of therapeutic as well as diagnostic agents specifically for treating dementia. - Explores promising approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of dementia - Discusses advances in cutting-edge nanomedical technologies - Focuses on the design, synthesis and application of nanocarriers in drug delivery
