The proof of concept of an original nanotechnology-based theranostic approach for Alzheimer‟s disease has been explored. Novel fluorescently tagged nanoparticles have been designed and employed for internalization and transcytosis studies across a recently developed human in vitro blood-brain barrier model. A small library of polymeric nanoparticles have been designed and their ability to capture the Amyloid β1-42 peptide, considered one of the causes of the Alzheimer‟s disease, has been investigated and quantified using an on purpose designed method.
