Summary of the various nanosystems used for treating genetic disorders.

Genetic Disease Nanosystem Effects Ref.
Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)

  • PLGA NPs conjugated with Tet-1 peptide

  • inhibited Aβ aggregation

  • improved cellular uptake

[189,190,205]
Parkinson’s Disease Retinoic acid NPs Increased bioavailability of loaded compounds, prevented apoptosis, oxidative stress, and toxicity [213,214]
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Calcium phosphate lipid-coated NPs able to pass through the BBB, neutralized RNS and ROS reactions [218,219]
Huntington’s Disease Curcumin SLN Reduced the activity of intermediate complex II [224,227]
Trehalose-loaded zwitterion NPs Inhibited amyloid and polyglutamine aggregation
Cystic Fibrosis Lipid NPs Increased the amount of membrane-localized CFTR [230,231]
PLGA NPs coated with PEG Effectively delivered anti-inflammatory compounds
