Researchers study gut-to-CNS translocation of silver nanomaterials

Posted On: 2024-02-13

Peripheral nerve fibers act as direct conduits for silver nanomaterials' translocation from the gut to the central nervous system (CNS). Researchers revealed transfer routes for silver nanomaterials in addition to traditional blood circulation. They demonstrated the direct translocation of silver nanomaterials from the gut to the CNS (both the brain and spinal cord) via peripheral nerve fibers.
