Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer. The
blood-brain barrier is the biggest obstacle to overcome in glioblastoma treatment.
Nanomedicine, which describes the use of nanostructures in medicine, has significant
potential for glioblastoma. Nanomedicine provides advantages in crossing the blood-brain barrier, increasing the amount and effectiveness of drugs reaching the cancer site,
monitoring diagnosis and treatment through imaging agents, and increasing the
effectiveness of treatments in combination applications. This chapter reviews current
nanotechnology research in glioblastoma over the past few years.
