Glioblastoma Found to Erode Skull and Hijack Immune System

Glioblastoma, the most lethal brain cancer, doesn’t just damage the brain—it erodes the skull and disrupts the immune system by reshaping marrow inside the skull. Researchers discovered that tumors increase skull-to-brain channels, allowing waves of inflammatory immune cells to flow to the cancer site, fueling its growth.

When Brain Cancer Cells Stick Together, They’re Less Dangerous

A groundbreaking study has revealed that glioblastoma cells behave differently depending on whether they cluster or disperse. Cells that remain in clusters are less aggressive, while dispersed cells are more plastic, meaning they can adapt and resist treatments more easily.

Dietary Intervention Could Slow Deadly Brain Cancer Growth

A new study reveals that glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain cancer, thrives by using sugar in unique ways that differ from healthy brain cells. While normal brain tissue channels sugar into energy and neurotransmitters, glioblastoma cells divert it into producing DNA and RNA, fueling relentless tumor growth.

Freezing Brain Molecules Could Halt Deadly Cancer Spread

Scientists have identified a new way to stop glioblastoma — the deadliest form of brain cancer — from spreading by altering its environment rather than targeting the tumor directly. The team showed that cancer cells depend on flexible hyaluronic acid molecules to invade surrounding brain tissue, but when these molecules were "frozen," cells became immobile and dormant.

Blood Test for Brain Cancer May Be on Horizon

A new blood-based test to screen for biomarkers of glioblastoma brain cancer has been developed by researchers at Penn State. The test looks for elevated levels of IL13Rα2, an antigen receptor that is derived from glioblastoma tumors.
