Synopsis: This volume provides a guide on nanoformulations and other drug delivery approaches for both academic and industry scientists. The chapters in this book cover diverse topics and techniques in nanoparticle drug delivery, gene therapy, neurosurgical brain implant, exosomes, MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), and advanced preclinical glioblastoma multiforme animal models. Some chapters discuss state-of-the-art and innovative nanomedicines for glioblastoma, surface-modified nanoparticle drug carriers for brain cancer treatment, focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated blood-brain barrier disruption for enhanced drug delivery to brain tumors; gene therapy delivery approaches to treat brain cancer, and a liposome-template hydrogel nanoparticles (LHNPs) as a powerful CRISPR/Cas9 delivery vehicle. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and thorough, Nanotherapy for Brain Tumor Drug Delivery is a valuable resource for the scientific community working on this important therapeutic field, and will help fast-track the clinical translation of revolutionary nanotechnologies for treating brain tumors.
