[Imaging Agora] 11/14/16 Nathan McDannold – “Towards Brain Tumor Treatment with Ultrasound Triggered Drug Delivery”

The physiology of the vasculature in the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and other factors, complicates the delivery of most drugs to the brain. Despite having only a partially-intact BBB, brain tumors also pose challenges to drug delivery. Different methods have been used to bypass the BBB and the “blood-tumor […]
