Are There Strategies to Overcome the BBB in Cancer Treatment?
Researchers are exploring various strategies to enhance drug delivery across the BBB. One approach involves using nanoparticles to transport drugs, as they can be engineered to cross the BBB more effectively. Additionally, focused ultrasound is being studied as a method to temporarily disrupt the BBB, allowing drugs to reach brain tumors. Other strategies include the use of BBB-permeable drugs and modifying existing drugs to enhance their ability to penetrate the barrier.
