A new study reports bigger brain size could mean an increased risk of developing brain cancer. The reason, researchers say, is simple. Bigger brains have more brain cells, and thus a greater potential for cell mutations that lead to cancer. Read More
A new study reveals distinct molecular differences in signatures of glioblastoma brain cancer between men and women. Researchers report current treatments for the brain cancer are more effective in women than in men. The findings could help to tailor treatments aimed at the different sexes and improve survival.

Researchers discover an enzyme, IDH, which facilitates the breakdown of specific amino acids makes glioblastoma brain cancer particularly aggressive. Read More
Glioblastoma brain cancer originates from a pool of stem cells that can be a significant distance away from where the tumor eventually forms. Read More
Brain cancer cells resist therapy by temporarily losing gene mutations targeted by drugs, but re-amplify the mutation once the treatments have stopped, a new study reports. Read More
According to a new study, neural activity can stimulate the growth of high-grade glioma brain cancers. Read More
Researchers find aspirin intake correlates with halted growth of vestibular schwannomas. Read More
A new Baylor study reveals the CD44s molecule gives glioblastoma brain cancer cells a survival advantage. Removing CD44s from cancer cells and treating with erlotinib helped to promote the death of cancer cells than by just treating the cancer with erlotinib alone, researchers said. Read More
A new clinical trial will test whether an experimental vaccine can help patients' immune systems to stop the spread of deadly glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
Researchers have discovered a way in which to sensitize drug-resistant human glioblastoma cells to chemotherapy. Read More
Neuroengineers have developed a new, non-toxic, biodegradable device that can help transport vital medications to the brain by locally opening the blood-brain barrier with ultrasound. Read More
