multifunctionality, nanoparticles have emerged as potential drug delivery carriers to tissues throughout the body. Yet passing the BBB is particularly difficult. The proper design of such engineered ‘nanocarriers’ becomes very important in transversing the impermeable membranes to facilitate drug delivery. At the same time, it is also required to retain the drug stability and ensure that earl
