Research teams in Austria and Sweden have succeeded in administering chemotherapeutic agents in a targeted manner with the aid of an ion pump and this is the first time an ion pump has been tested as a possible method for treating malignant brain tumours. They have been delivering gemcitabine, an extremely effective chemotherapeutic agent, directly to the tumour in the brain with the help of an implanted ion pump, thereby bypassing the blood-brain barrier too. The gemcitabine ion pump transports the drug from an electrolyte reservoir using very little current, so neurons are not activated in the process and are undamaged. This also prevents unwanted nerve signals, plus, thanks to the low current and voltage, no large power supplies or batteries are needed for therapeutic administration.
