Brain tumors impact normally helpful cells

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.

Omega-3 fats do not protect against cancer

Studies reveal there is no demonstrable value in people taking omega 3 oil supplements for the prevention or treatment of cancer. Findings reveal there may be a slightly increased risk of men developing prostate cancer following long-term omega 3 consumption.

Childhood brain tumor discovery may unlock treatments for many cancers

Astrocytes hijack microglia for the benefit of tumor growth in medulloblastoma, causing the microglia to produce IGF1. The findings could aid in the development of new treatments for a range of cancers.
