Heating up cancer cells as they are being targeted with chemotherapy appears to be a highly effective way of killing them off. Read More
Cancer itself, rather than chemotherapy alone, may contribute to the development of neuropathy some patients experience. Read More
Glioma patients whose tumors were hypermutated showed no significant benefit when treated with checkpoint blockers. Read More
Combining niacin, or vitamin B3, with chemotherapy, helped slow the progression and increase life span in mouse models of glioblastoma. Read More
Lipids responsible for neural function are highly active and not inert. The findings challenge traditional beliefs about mature myelin. Read More

Researchers have developed a new approach that uses microRNA in combination with chemotherapy to help treat glioblastoma brain cancer. In preclinical models, the approach increases survival of the deadly brain cancer five fold. Read More
Researchers report a targeted therapy that blocks LSD1 effectively shrinks tumor size in mouse models of medulloblastoma, a form of pediatric brain cancer. Read More
Researchers report our gender can determine longevity and response to treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer. The study reports male survival is determined by genes that control cell division, where as female survival is often determine by genes that regulate the ability of cancer cells to migrate to different brain areas.

Researchers have identified the 3D structure of a brain receptor that causes vomiting and nausea as a result of chemotherapy treatments for cancer. The same receptor also plays a critical role in pain perception, migraines and chronic itching. Read More
