Because the cancer cells spread into surrounding healthy tissue, complete surgical removal is extremely difficult &ndash; surgeons must spare healthy brain tissue. This is exactly where the new nanoparticles come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One tool for both jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;nanozyme&#8221; platform, developed by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney, Harvard University and Henan University, handles both: it makes hidden tumor cells light up during surgery and then destroys the microscopic remnants left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promising &ndash; but only in mice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In animal experiments, every treated mouse survived the first 60 days (compared with 42 days after surgery alone), with no detectable neurological damage. The researchers stress, however, that this is early-stage basic research in a mouse model, not in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2026\/08\/260826060617.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ScienceDaily<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-08-nanoparticles-surgeons-destroy-brain-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phys.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"netgu-3207356764\" class=\"netgu-after-content netgu-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6258556257245998\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6258556257245998\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"4559785002\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Smart&#8221; nanoparticles light up glioblastoma cells during surgery and destroy leftovers afterward.
