Research summary

Katarina Benejova's research focuses on using mesenchymal stem cells and the tiny particles they release (called exosomes) to deliver cancer treatments directly into tumor cells, including gene-based therapies and magnetic heating techniques to destroy tumors. This work sits at the intersection of cancer biology, cell therapy, and nanomedicine, exploring how stem cell-derived particles can be engineered to target and kill cancer cells such as glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor).

Publication output was low and sporadic from 2017-2023 but shows a dramatic spike in 2024-2025, suggesting either a recent surge in productivity or a shift in data source/collaboration patterns rather than a steady historical trend.
