Abstract

Malignant brain tumors, particularly those of glial origin, carry a dismal prognosis despite decades of therapeutic maneuvers. Surgery and radiotherapy have not been curative, and adjunctive chemotherapy has resulted only in modest increases in survival. This article discusses the current status of chemotherapy, the problems encountered with the interpretation of chemotherapeutic trials, and some of the new approaches currently being evaluated.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
