This paper presents a minimally invasive method to deliver peptides to the spinal cord for behavior modulation using optical stimulation of nanoparticles, demonstrating efficacy in inducing itching in mice without genetic modification.

This paper demonstrates a method to selectively open the blood-brain barrier using light-stimulated nanoparticles targeting tight junctions, enabling macromolecule and gene therapy vector delivery without neurotoxicity.
