title: Carbohydrate based nanoparticles for drug delivery across biological barriers.
abstract: In this review, we will summarize the particularities of each of the following barriers from the point of view of drugs passing across them; blood brain barrier, ocular barriers, skin and mucosal barriers. Also, for each biological barrier the most representative examples of polysaccharides and cyclodextrins nanoformulations are presented.
