Researchers take aim at circadian clock in deadly brain cancer

Neuroscience NewsAugust 27, 2019

Glioblastoma stem cells' circadian clocks ramp up the cells' metabolism, making them stronger, more resistant to treatment, and able to divide and multiply more rapidly. By targeting the stem cells with a small molecule drug, researchers found mice models lived longer and their tumors shrank.... Read More...

Non-invasive electrical stimulation alters blood flow in brain tumors

Neuroscience NewsAugust 16, 2019

After a single session of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), researchers noted a significant reduction in blood flow to brain tumors. However, there were no alterations in blood flow or activity in the rest of the brain. The technique may be helpful in the treatment of brain cancers such as glioblastoma.... Read More...

Study hints at why an aggressive form of brain cancer is hard to treat

Neuroscience NewsJuly 19, 2019

Genetics and microenvironment influence the frequency of glioblastoma cells. Researchers provide a new blueprint for glioblastoma, integrating the malignant cell programs, cancer cell plasticity, and modulation by genetic drivers. The findings shed light on why this form of cancer is so hard to treat effectively.... Read More...
