Researchers have identified a number of environmental factors, including the herbicide Linuron, as inflammation activators in neurodegenerative disorders. Read More
When aggressive, malignant tumors appear in more than one location in the brain, patient survival tends to be significantly shorter than when the disease starts as a single tumor, even though patients in both groups undergo virtually identical treatments, according to research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Research Institute.
