Researchers suggest blocking DNA repair mechanisms could improve radiation therapy for glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
A new clinical trial will test whether an experimental vaccine can help patients' immune systems to stop the spread of deadly glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
Discovery could pave the way to developing new treatments to target glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
“We identified a subset of brain tumor cells that are slower growing or remain at rest, and appear to be the source of cancer recurrence after standard therapy in which the drug temozolomide is given to stop the tumor’s growth,” said Dr. Luis Parada. “Current therapy targets fast-growing tumor cells but not those responsible for new tumors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first identification of a cancer stem-like cell in a spontaneously forming tumor inside a mammal.” Read More
A lipid nanocarrier small enough to pass the blood-brain barrier could be an effective method for delivering chemotherapy medications to help fight glioblastoma brain tumors, a new study reports. Read More
Introducing VEGF-C into the cerebrospinal fluid of mouse models of glioblastoma, researchers noted increased levels of T cell response to the cancerous tumors. When combined with immune system checkpoint inhibitors, the VEGF-C treatment significantly extended the life span of the mice with glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
A new study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine report Zika virus could be used to target and treat glioblastoma brain cancer. Researchers found a mouse adapted strain of Zika slowed tumor growth and extended life span in mice with glioblastoma. Read More
A new study reports changes in immune function can occur up to five years before the diagnosis of brain cancer, which typically only produces symptoms three months before it is detected. Read More
Targeting aPKC, a protein crucial for neurodevelopment, researchers report they can block multiple signaling pathways implicated in brain tumor growth. Read More
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed what they believe to be the first clinical application of a new... Read More
Researchers have discovered a key to glioblastoma tumor cells proliferation, and ways to turn this engine of tumor growth into a target for cancer treatment. Read More
