Inhibition of the OR5B21 olfactory receptor gene significantly decreased the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the brain, lungs, and bones, researchers report.
Asthma causes T cells to induce lung inflammation but prevents the growth of brain tumors. Reprogramming T cells in patients with brain cancer to act like T cells in those with asthma may help to curb the growth of tumors.
A class of drugs called BACE1 inhibitors, originally designed to treat Alzheimer's disease, shows potential for the treatment of glioblastoma brain cancer.
Combining Disulfiram, a medication commonly used to treat chronic alcoholism, with copper ions kills medulloblastoma cancer cells and prevents new ones from growing.
Variations in the TSPO neuroinflammation-associated protein's structure correlates with worse survival outcomes for male glioblastoma brain cancer patients than females.
A combination of approved and novel therapeutics improved survival rates and reduced both tumor volume and growth for those suffering from glioblastoma brain cancer.
Cellular reprogramming of glioma cells into neural cells may be a promising treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer.
A newly identified gene therapy pathway has the potential to protect us against dementia and cancer, researchers report.
Researchers have identified specific proteins that drive the development of cancer stem cells. They report targeting and suppressing galectin1, in addition to radiation therapy, could be an effective treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer.
A new STING treatment induces immunological responses that allow the immune system to fight otherwise immunological resistant glioblastoma cancer cells, researchers report.
While incidence rates of malignant brain cancers have declined over recent years, the five-year survival rate for brain cancer patients remains low.
Researchers have successfully replicated an entire, viable glioblastoma brain tumor via 3D bioprinting. The bioprinted tumor includes a complex system of blood vessel-like tubes through which blood cells and drug molecules can flow, simulating a real tumor.
