Is there a link between cell phones and brain cancer?

A new study raises questions about the link between cell phone use and an increased risk of developing brain cancer. Researchers found little evidence to suggest the rate of brain cancer incidents has risen in any age group as a result of cell phone usage.

Researchers take aim at circadian clock in deadly brain cancer

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.

Non-invasive electrical stimulation alters blood flow in brain tumors

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.

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

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.

Daily coffee does not affect cancer risk

Researchers report there is no real relationship between how many cups of coffee you drink per day and an increased risk of developing any particular cancer. They also ruled out a link between coffee intake and dying from the disease.
