In UCLA Study, Nanodiamonds Are Used to Deliver Chemotherapy to Brain Tumors

A team at the University of California Los Angeles’ Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an innovative system in which small particles called nanodiamonds deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to brain tumors. Nanodiamonds are said to show promise against the deadly glioblastoma brain tumor, which is notoriously difficult to treat. “We’re looking for the drugs and situations where nanotechnology actually helps chemotherapy function better, making it easier on the patient and harder on the cancer,” one of the study’s authors says.
