Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents significant challenges in pediatric neurology, necessitating innovative management strategies to improve outcomes for affected children. This review explores the transformative potential of nanotechnology in autism treatment, highlighting specific applications of nanoscale materials and devices. We provide a detailed examination of various nanotechnology-based interventions, including targeted drug delivery systems that boost therapeutic efficacy, nanosensors for the early detection of ASD, and nanocarriers designed for gene therapy, all aimed at minimizing side effects while maximizing treatment benefits. Additionally, we discuss the role of nanotechnology in developing personalized medicine approaches tailored to the unique neurobiological profiles of children with ASD. By bridging the gap between research and clinical practice, this review aims to enhance the quality of care and life for pediatric patients with autism. We underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing nanotechnology solutions and call for further research to validate these innovative strategies in pediatric neurology.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Neurobiology (previously the Journal of Neurobiology ) publishes original research articles on development, regeneration, repair and plasticity of the nervous system and on the ontogeny of behavior. High quality contributions in these areas are solicited, with an emphasis on experimental as opposed to purely descriptive work. The Journal also will consider manuscripts reporting novel approaches and techniques for the study of the development of the nervous system as well as occasional special issues on topics of significant current interest. We welcome suggestions on possible topics from our readers.
