A new study in PNAS reports blocking the expression of MDA-9/Syntenin forces glioma stem cells to lose their ability to induce protective autophagy. Read More
Researchers at MIT have developed a new drug delivering nanoparticle that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. The nanoparticles carry two different drugs that can help shrink tumors and prevent them from growing back. Read More
Researchers use gene editing to generate aggressive glioblastoma multiforme brain tumors in the lab. The model, researchers say, could be used to track the progression of tumors and develop personalized therapies for patients. Read More
A new study describes glioblastoma specific gene co-expression relationships between a group of 22 genes. Read More
An inhibitor of the 20-HETE chemical has been used to successfully control the spread and growth of human glioblastoma and breast cancer in lab models of the diseases, researchers report. Read More
Researchers report the addition of an FDA approved chemotherapy drug called hydroxyyurea to temozolomide helps to increase survival rates in animal models of glioblastoma. Read More
A new drug has been cleared for human trials in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma brain cancers. The drug, PAC-1, is reported to spur cancer cells to self destruct and has proven to be effective in animal models of brain cancers. Read More
Arsenic trioxide, a treatment used for acute promyelocytic leukemia, may help extend lifespan in patients with glioblastoma brain cancer, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have identified a biomarker that can help predict a patient's prognosis and response to therapies for glioblastoma brain cancer subtypes. Read More
Researchers at UT Southwestern report medications used to treat arthritis and lung cancer may help in the battle against glioblastoma. Read More
UCLA researchers report erlotinib, an FDA approved drug, reduces glucose uptake in glioblastoma, effectively cutting off nutrients and energy supply to the tumor. Read More
A new study reports researchers have identified a mechanism that aids the growth of glioblastoma brain cancer. By blocking the mechanism, researchers were able to halt the progression of the tumors. Read More
