flag Italian researchers developed a nasal spray with lithium-loaded gold nanoparticles that delivers medication to the brain, reversing memory loss in mice with fewer side effects.

flag A nasal spray using lithium-loaded gold nanoparticles is showing promise in treating brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and bipolar disorder by delivering medication directly to the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. flag Developed by Italian researchers, the non-invasive method targets the hippocampus and inhibits the GSK-3β enzyme linked to memory loss and disease progression. flag In mouse studies, it reversed memory deficits with lower lithium doses and fewer side effects than oral administration. flag The technology, patented internationally, is being studied further for safety and broader use, with potential for human trials in the future.
