Nanoparticles in brain metastases. Fluorescence light micrograph of blood vessels (red), cell nuclei (blue), and human metastatic breast cancer cells (green) in brain tissue being treated with experimental nanoparticles. Cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the brain is normally untreatable because the protective blood-brain barrier blocks entry of most drugs. Nanoparticles capable of carrying drugs can cross the barrier and this may lead to the development of treatments. This tissue is from a laboratory mouse's brain after intravenous administration the nanoparticles. This image was created in 2016, as part of research carried out at the California Institute of Technology, USA. | |
