Executive Summary
Adopting an established endoscopic nasal grafting technique, researchers at Mass Eye and Ear have shown the ability to deliver a drug across the blood-brain barrier effectively and with reduced side effects. Their work could move rapidly into clinical testing in neurodegenerative diseases and could form the basis for delivering a wide range of existing drugs as well as new compounds whose development is predicated on use of the technique.
