a Increased specificity towards BBB. The surface coating of NPs with suitable materials can increase the specificity towards the BBB; these materials (as mentioned in Table 2) can be polymers, proteins, antibodies, peptides, and other additives. b Receptor-mediated transcytosis. The passage through the BBB is exemplified through receptor-mediated transcytosis. A very frequently used pathway for the transport of NPs to the brain, for this use, is assembled with specific receptors found in the BBB
