Nanotherapeutics Overcoming the Blood-Brain Barrier for Glioblastoma Treatment

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis. The current standard treatment regimen represented by temozolomide/radiotherapy has an average survival time of 14.6 months, while the 5-year survival rate is still less than 5%. New therapeutics are still hig...
