Trifluoperazine, a dopamine receptor antagonist commonly prescribed for schizophrenia, used in combination with radiation therapy delays the growth of glioblastoma brain tumors and prolongs survival for brain cancer. Read More
Neurons and immune cells work together to promote tumor growth in neurofibromatosis type 1. Read More
Administering medulloblastoma specific CAR T cells into the cerebrospinal fluid was more effective than administering via the blood. Read More
Cannabidiol (CBD) appears to slow the growth of glioblastoma brain cancer cells in both animal and human cell lines. CBD's anti-cancer actions target mitochondria, causing them to dysfunction and release harmful reactive oxygen species. Cancer cells treated with CBD exhibited significant decreases in mitochondrial activity. Read More
Glioma patients whose tumors were hypermutated showed no significant benefit when treated with checkpoint blockers. Read More
Glioma brain tumors disrupt neural synchrony between bilateral cortical regions. The findings provide new insight into the association between seizures and tumor progression. Read More
A new optical imaging tool allows surgeons to map out cancerous tumors and helps to provide a better understanding of how diseases affect brain activity. Read More
Glioma brain tumors alter the function of astrocytes, possibly contributing to seizures many brain cancer patients experience. Astrocytes encasing gliomas exhibit different molecular signatures based on their proximity to the cancer cells. Those directly touching the cancer cells become elongated and swollen, mimicking the astrocyte's response to other epilepsy-related brain injuries. Read More
Combining niacin, or vitamin B3, with chemotherapy, helped slow the progression and increase life span in mouse models of glioblastoma. Read More
The ELP1 gene is abnormally mutated in the germline DNA of 15% of children with the Sonic Hedgehog subgroup of medulloblastoma brain cancer. Read More
