Experts say it’s a big step forward in treating brain tumors. It offers new hope for patients with few treatment options.
“The ability to non-invasively and temporarily open the blood-brain barrier using focused ultrasound is a game-changer in neuro-oncology,” said a leading researcher in the field.
The main advantage of focused ultrasound is better drug delivery to brain tumors. It opens the blood-brain barrier, ensuring drugs get to the tumor. This could change how we treat brain tumors, giving patients and doctors new options.
Research shows focused ultrasound can increase drug levels in tumors. This leads to better results and fewer side effects. As research grows, we’ll see this technology used more in treatment, bringing hope to those with brain tumors.
Cellular ‘motors’ are a key area of study in fighting cancer. These ‘motors’ are made of motor proteins and help cancer cells move. Knowing how they work is important for making treatments that stop cancer from spreading.
Cellular mobility is complex and involves many parts working together. Motor proteins like kinesins and dyneins help move things inside cells. In cancer, these proteins help cells move and invade other tissues, leading to metastasis.
The process involves several key steps:
By understanding these mechanisms, researchers can find new ways to stop cancer.
Targeting motor proteins is a promising way to stop brain and spinal cord tumors from spreading. Studies show that some motor proteins are more active in these tumors. This makes the tumors more aggressive and harder to treat.
| Motor Protein | Role in Cancer | Potential Therapeutic Target |
|---|---|---|
| Kinesin | Facilitates cell division and migration | Inhibitors of kinesin activity |
| Dynein | Involved in retrograde transport and cell migration | Dynein inhibitors |
