The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a microvascular network responsible for excluding
most drugs from the brain. Treatment of brain tumors is limited by the impermeability of the …

The history of brain drug delivery is reviewed beginning with the first demonstration, in 1914,
that a drug for syphilis, salvarsan, did not enter the brain, due to the presence of a blood …

Simple Summary The pharmacological treatment of tumors of the central nervous system
poses major challenges due to the presence of physical obstacles, ie, the blood-brain …

The greatest obstacle to using drugs to treat brain tumors is the blood‐brain barrier (BBB),
making it difficult for conventional drug molecules to enter the brain. Therefore, how to safely …
