A Newly Developed Hydrogel Can Wipe Out Brain Cancer in Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Glioblastoma is one of the most common and aggressive forms of brain cancer, and it’s one of the hardest to treat. There may be good news on the horizon, however.

A newly developed hydrogel, tested on mice, cleaned up traces of glioblastoma tumors and stopped them from returning. The hydrogel was so effective that there was a “striking” 100 percent survival rate in the animals.

Although we can’t be sure that the same treatments will achieve that level of success in humans, it’s a hugely promising new approach.
