Effect of chitosan coating on nanoparticles to cross the BBB. From top to bottom. Some nanoparticles cross into the brain due to the nanometric particle size. The chitosan coating increases the interaction with the negative charge of the cell membrane in the BBB and increases the passage to the brain. The addition of specific ligands to the chitosan coating favors targeting of nanoparticles and significantly increases the crossing to the brain.
