Biohacking the Blood-Brain Barrier: The Future of Alzheimer's Treatment
October 22, 2025
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective permeability barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS). This barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining the brain's microenvironment, which is essential for proper neural function. However, its protective nature also poses a significant challenge for drug delivery, particularly in treating neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. As the global burden of Alzheimer's continues to rise, researchers are turning to innovative approaches such as biohacking the BBB to develop more effective treatments.
