Taking advantage of state of the art technology could enhance medical therapies for brain tumors. Such is the case with the latest called nanodrugs. Nanodrugs have been designed at a microscopic level to attack brain cancer cells. So far, researchers at Cedars-Sinai think this option could help to make brain surgery unnecessary in many cases. […]
