Scientists have engineered smart nanoparticles that double as surgical highlighters and post-op cancer killers—revolutionizing glioblastoma treatment. During surgery, they glow under special light to reveal hidden tumor clusters, then switch roles to zap leftover cancer cells after the main tumor is removed. In mice, this two-in-one system prevented recurrence and kept all treated animals alive for 60 days. While still in early stages—tested only in mice, not humans—the tech holds massive promise for slashing brain cancer recurrence, a major hurdle for patients with this aggressive disease…
