Relevant preclinical models and effective drug delivery strategies are important to advance glioblastoma (GBM) therapy. Here, the authors characterise genetically engineered mouse models that recapitulate two important GBM subtypes, and use them to show that picosecond laser stimulation of vascular-targeting gold nanoparticles can modulate blood-brain-tumour barrier permeability and expand therapeutic options for GBM.
