  • NANOPARTICLE SCREENING METHODS EMPLOYING INSECTS WITH BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER
    Publication number: 20120122146
    Abstract: There is provided an insect model for determining the penetration of nanoparticles through the BBB. The model is also directed to the use of insects for studying the environmental safety of nanoparticles. The particles are administered into the hemolymf of an insect having a BBB, such as the locust, and the uptake into the brain is analysed. Thus, in this model it is possible to investigate the potential up-take into the brain of nanoparticles circulating in the blood.
