Scientists have developed 'smart' nanoparticles designed to light up hard-to-find glioblastoma cells during surgery and eliminate any remaining microscopic cancer. In laboratory studies, this dual-action approach successfully prevented tumor recurrence and achieved a 100% survival rate among animal models.
