Interdisciplinary research team at Kiel University develops a microchannel matrix for tailored drug release. Glioblastomas are among the most aggressive brain tumours in adults and difficult to treat due to their rapid growth and their diversity. Usually, the malignant tumours cannot be completely or permanently removed by surgery. Thus, a combined radio- and chemotherapy follows, which, however, can be associated with side effects on the entire human body. So-called local therapy approaches are therefore being explored as possible alternatives. These…
