Researchers have use nanotechnology to develop a 1:1 scale model of the blood-brain barrier. Read More
Single treatment produces long-term improvement in animal models. With a single drug treatment, researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer... Read More
According to researchers, combining tricyclic antidepressants with blood thinners increased tumor autophagy in mouse models of glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
By altering DON, an anti-cancer drug cultivated from bacteria originally found in Peruvian soil over 70 years ago, scientists believe they have made a safer and more tolerable form of the drug. Read More
A new probe developed uses an innovative fluorescence-reading technology to help brain surgeons distinguish cancerous tissue from normal tissue. The probe tool, now already in use at the Cancer Center for brain surgery, may one day be used for surgeries for a variety of cancers. Read More
Studies reveal there is no demonstrable value in people taking omega 3 oil supplements for the prevention or treatment of cancer. Findings reveal there may be a slightly increased risk of men developing prostate cancer following long-term omega 3 consumption. Read More
DIPG cancer cells exposed to MI-2 fail to maintain healthy levels of cholesterol and die quickly, by inhibiting lanosterol synthase. Additionally, while MI-2 destroys glioma cancer cells, the drug does not damage healthy brain cells. Read More
Researchers report they have been able to create tiny, biodegradable nanoparticles which are able to carry DNA to brain cancer cells in mice. Read More
Cancer treatment vaccine research leads to remission in a child with a relapsed neuroblastoma. Read More
Researchers are developing nanocarriers that are twice as effective as liposomes at reaching glioblastoma brain tumors. 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
