Brain Tumours Drug

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a human tissue model to demonstrate the functioning of nanoparticles. Now, the team of researchers has developed nanoparticles that can carry the drug and enter tumours, killing the glioblastoma cells.

An energy sensing enzyme can potentially become a therapeutic target for future cancer drugs as it is responsible for sensing the available supply of GTP -- an energy source that fuels the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells, new research has found.

Researchers have identified a drug that works to limit the spread of glioblastoma -- the most common primary tumour of the brain and central nervous system which is also regarded as one of the most aggressive of all cancers.

The drug propentofylline or PPF, increases the effectiveness of a standard-of-care chemotherapy drug called temozolomide (TMZ), and radiation, to treat glioblastoma.

Sound waves could play a key role in helping to get drugs into the brain. Scientists have developed a method to open the blood-brain barrier temporarily to allow the entry of drugs and gene therapy to different specific brain areas.
