Killing Cancer - New Brain Cancer Treatment Targets Tumors

The video discusses the deadly nature of glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain cancer, and the innovative research by Stefan Bossman and Deryl Troyer. They are developing a new cell-based therapy using the patient's own white blood cells to deliver anticancer drugs across the blood-brain barrier. This method aims to increase drug delivery efficiency and reduce side effects. Their research involves protease-activatable polymer-caged liposomes that release drugs only at the tumor site. Successful tests in mice show promise for future human clinical trials, offering hope for improved survival rates in brain cancer patients.
