Nanoemulsion: Concepts, development and applications in drug delivery
Nanoemulsions are biphasic dispersion of two immiscible liquids: either water in oil (W/O) or
oil in water (O/W) droplets stabilized by an amphiphilic surfactant. These come across as …

Nanoemulsions for “nose-to-brain” drug delivery
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays a fundamental role in protecting the brain from toxic
substances and therefore also controls and restricts the entry of therapeutic agents. The …
