Nano Pharmaceutical 2019: Paramagnetic nanoparticles conjugated with lipopolysaccharide for blood-brain barrier disruption in a model of glioblastoma- Andrew J Kobets- Children

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary adult brain tumor with only 14.6 months of median survival. Carrier nanoparticles have emerged as a novel strategy for chemotherapeutic delivery, yet penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and tumor retention remain significant hurdles. The evolution of paramagnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) shows promise for reliable, magnetically-targeted drug delivery, and coupled with a lipopolysaccharide-coating (LPSPMNPs) allows for concurrent, reversible BBB disruption
