New Biomimetic Formulation for Treating Glioblastoma

Researchers found a positive correlation between glioblastoma cell proliferation and lactate metabolic indicators. Based on this observation, the researchers developed a biomimetic formulation using targeted delivery agents for lactate metabolism-based synergistic therapy against glioblastoma brain cancer.

Targeted Therapy Vorasidenib Offers Hope for Deadly Brain Tumors

A newly developed drug, Vorasidenib, has shown promise in prolonging progression-free survival for patients with a subtype of glioma. The international study found that patients taking Vorasidenib could go nearly 17 more months without their cancer worsening, postponing the need for radiation and chemotherapy.

Hidden DNA Loops Linked to Early Spread of Brain Cancer

Scientists have discovered that rogue DNA rings, called extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), appear early in glioblastoma and drive its rapid growth and resistance to therapy. By combining patient data, imaging, and computational modeling, researchers found that ecDNA often carries the EGFR cancer gene and its aggressive variants.

Inducing Self-Destruction in Glioblastoma Brain Cancer

Researchers discovered a method to induce self-destruction in glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. By introducing a specially developed molecule that inhibits the hijacked adaptive mechanisms cancer cells use to manage stress, the researchers triggered the cancer cells to self-destruct.

Cancer Drug Shows Promise In Treating AMD Vision Loss

Scientists have discovered that a locally developed cancer drug, PRL3-zumab, may offer a groundbreaking treatment for two major causes of blindness: wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Pre-clinical studies showed that intravenous PRL3-zumab reduced abnormal eye blood vessel leakage by 86% more than standard eye injections, with fewer risks.
