Stem Cell Researchers Move Toward Treatment for Rare Genetic Nerve Disease

Researchers use induced pluripotent stem cells to advance disease-in-a-dish modeling of ataxia telangiectasia, a rare genetic disorder associated with progressive loss of function in the cerebellum. Their discovery shows the positive effects of drugs that may lead to effective new treatments for the neurodegenerative disease.

The image shows an MRI scan of a patient with brain cancer. The tumor is highlighted in blue.

New Drug Enhances Radiation Treatment for Brain Cancer in Preclinical Studies

A new drug could help increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy for patients with glioblastoma multiforme, the most deadly form of brain cancer. The ATM kinase inhibitor, in combination with radiation therapy, helped significantly extend survival rates in mouse models of GBM.

The image shows two bothers with A-T disease.
