Drug-filled nanofibers offer potential breakthrough treatment for brain cancer
Researchers with the University of Cincinnati and Johns Hopkins Medicine developed a potential treatment for brain cancer that uses nanofibers embedded with a combination of drugs that work in concert to target tumors.
Researchers test nanofibre implants against glioblastoma. The active ingredients are released directly on the brain tumor. The post These nanofibres could slow down the most deadly brain tumor appeared first on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
A Tiny Drug-Loaded Mesh Implanted in the Brain Is Keeping Glioblastoma at Bay
It’s smaller than a thumbnail. A dense, whitish square, barely a millimetre thick, laser-cut from a folded membrane of polymer fibres thinner than human hair. Under a microscope the structure looks almost textile, a woven lattice with fibres crossing and recrossing in layers. Surgeons would place it in the cavity left by tumour removal, where it would sit, slowly releasing its chemical cargo for weeks. The tumour, if it returned at all, would ne…
