New methods for delivering drugs directly to treat brain cancer

Updated

Abstract

Swimming nanorobots show great potential in active targeted delivery of drugs for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

  • GBM is characterized by significant morbidity and mortality, making effective treatment challenging.
  • The blood-brain barrier and blood-brain tumor barrier hinder drug uptake by GBM, limiting therapeutic options.
  • Recent advancements in nanotechnology offer unconventional drug delivery approaches for GBM treatment.
  • Nanorobots can navigate biological barriers more effectively, enhancing targeted drug delivery strategies.
  • Current challenges in translating these technologies into clinical practice are acknowledged.
