Targeted nanochains in brain cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showing nanochains (blue) that have penetrated a glioma brain tumour, as well as showing invasive cancer cells that have spread into the surrounding areas. Nanoparticle penetration of brain tumours can be limited due to protective barriers around the brain and the tumour. Access to invasive tumours that have spread throughout the brain is even more challenging. Nanoparticles with a linear chain-like design, called nanochains, may more effectively penetrate invasive brain tumours. These scans are of mouse brains injected with nanochains decorated with tumour-targeting molecules.
