Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, nanotechnology, neuroscience

Zhiling Guo, a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham outlines research into how nanomaterials found in consumer and health-care products can pass from the bloodstream to the brain side of a blood-brain barrier model with varying ease depending on their shape. A new study reveals that this may create potential neurological impacts that could be both positive and negative.
