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.

Engineered Virus and Immunotherapy: New Hope for Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Patients

A new study details the safe and promising use of an engineered oncolytic virus (DNX-2401) alongside immunotherapy in treating recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Despite not meeting its primary efficacy endpoint, the study achieved a significant 12-month survival rate, exceeding the prespecified efficacy threshold.

Common Seizure Drug Blocks Deadly Brain Cancer Growth

Researchers discovered a promising new avenue for treating glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer. The study found that these tumors restructure connections in surrounding brain tissue, leading to cognitive decline. The team discovered that the drug gabapentin, commonly used to prevent seizures, could inhibit this activity in mice with glioblastoma.

New Gel Treatment Wipes Out Deadly Brain Cancer in Mice – Offers Hope For Defeating Glioblastoma in Humans

Combining an anticancer drug with an antibody, researchers developed a novel gel that cured glioblastoma brain cancer in 100% of mouse models. The findings offer new hope in the fight against the most deadly form of brain cancer in humans. The gel triggers an immune response and, when the cancer was reintroduced, the immune system alone helped beat the cancer without additional medications.

Protein Movement Reveals Brain Tumor’s Weak Spot

In glioblastoma brain cancer, EGFR (HER1) genetic mutations lead to a movement of a large part of the extracellular region of the protein. This activates the intracellular area in a particular way that drives glioblastoma tumor development.
