Nanotech Jumps Blood-Brain Barrier To Kill Cancer in Mice
Nanotech Jumps Blood-Brain Barrier To Kill Cancer in Mice A new synthetic protein nanoparticle capable of slipping past the nearly impermeable blood-brain barrier in mice could deliver cancer-killing drugs directly to malignant brain tumors, new research shows. The study is the first to demonstrate an intravenous medication that can cross the blood-brain barrier. I’ve worked in this field for more than 10 years and have not seen anything like this. The discovery could one day allow new clinical therapies for treating glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer in ad...
