MicroMESH: A Microscopic Polymeric Network to attack Glioblastoma multiforme

The microMESH has the shape of a micrometric polymeric net, it is made with biodegradable materials and wraps around the tumor mass. Its structure consists of two separate compartments in which different drugs can be loaded which are released towards the tumor mass in an independent, precise, and prolonged fashion. The microMESH can ‘attack’ glioblastoma by combining different therapies: chemotherapy, nanomedicine, and immunotherapy.

A micro-sized polymeric net wrapping around brain tumors, just like a fishing net around a shoal of fish: this is microMESH, a new nanomedicine device capable of conforming around the surface of tumor masses and efficiently delivering drugs...
