May was full of promising news in glioblastoma research, one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer. But as usual, there were also not-so-good news, with the side-effects of drugs being on the spotlight.

Nanotechnology applied to glioma treatment
Glioblastoma multiforme is a rare but highly lethal disease with no effective treatment options. One of the main difficulties in glioblastoma therapy is the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents into the tumor across the blood–brain barrier.
A new study published in Nanomedicine describes a new drug nanocarrier capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and delivering chemotherapeutic drugs into the brain, thereby increasing the local availability of the drug. It was shown that these nanostructures selectively accumulated in glioma cells, increasing the …
