Mechanotransduction investigation in pathophysiological models by nanotechnological approaches.

The integration of nanotechnology with neuroscience has led to significant advancements, particularly in the past decade. Nanotechnology has been successfully applied in both fundamental neuroscience research and clinical settings, offering promising insights into brain mechanisms and improving medical care. Neuroscientists have increasingly used artificially manufactured materials with controlled nano-sized properties, leading to innovations in prostheses and neural interfaces. Nanomedicine, with its enhanced flexibility, precision, and cost-effectiveness, finds applications in various domains, including cancer treatment, infection prevention, and tissue regeneration. The emerging field of NeuroNanoTechnology (NNT) involves manipulating materials at an almost atomic level to control and repair damaged neural circuits. The susceptibility of the nervous system to injuries and illnesses, coupled with limited success from standard strategies, underscores the need for novel technological approaches. Combining nanoscience with neuroscience offers potential for translating fundamental research into therapeutic interventions, despite the current early stages of research in applying nanotechnology to scientific and clinical neuroscience.
