Article Synopsis
- - Despite advances in treatment, gliomas are still linked to poor outcomes due to residual cells that can lead to resistant tumors and challenges with drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
- - A new stimuli-sensitive nanogel has been created to help efficiently deliver a drug that emits Auger electrons, enabling targeted treatment of cancer cells after crossing the BBB.
- - These functionalized nanogels use a targeted approach to cross the BBB and deliver the drug directly to glioblastoma cells, with their breakdown linked to increased levels of specific proteins that help enhance the treatment's effectiveness.
