Cover Story: Neurodegenerative disorders involve neuron loss and protein aggregation, leading to central nervous system degradation, mobility impairments, and cognitive deficits. Key mechanisms include proteotoxic stress, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Current states of knowledge are mainly palliative, lacking definitive cures. Nanotechnology enhances treatment efficacy and diagnostic capabilities, with nanoparticles able to cross the blood–brain barrier. Combining gene therapy with nanotechnology shows promise for better outcomes. Advances in nano-biomaterials have improved neural stem cell (NSC) therapies, offering a potentially safe treatment method. This review comprehensively highlights nanotechnology-driven innovations in treating neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. View this paper
