Study finds significant expression of the Alzheimer's related Tau protein in glioma cells, especially in patients with better prognoses.
Study found no increased risk of developing brain tumors regardless of whether a person was a frequent cell phone user or if they had never used a cell phone before.
A new study in Nature Communications reveals a common genetic variant that increases the risk of neuroblastoma, the most common cancer in infants.
Dementia patients with a history of cancer demonstrate better cognition at dementia diagnosis than their peers with no history of cancer.
Researchers report the antidepressant drug Rolipram could be used to effectively treat medulloblastoma brain cancer.
Researchers have identified an enzyme associated with aggressive gliomas.
A new study reports cancer patients who frequently eat peanuts may be at increased risk of their cancer spreading. Researchers found Peanut agglutinin (PNA), a carbohydrate-binding protein that enters blood circulation after a peanut is eaten, interacts with endothelial cells to produce cytokines. Some of the cytokines are recognized promoters of cancer metastasis.
Researchers have identified a biomarker that can help predict a patient's prognosis and response to therapies for glioblastoma brain cancer subtypes.
Researchers have solves a longstanding mystery relating to perineuronal nets, giving rise to potential new treatments for epilepsy. The study reports the nets modulate electrical impulses in the brain and seizures can occur if perineuronal networks are dissolved.
Researchers are currently recruiting patients for a Phase 1 trial of a new immunotherapy treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer.
A new study reports researchers have identified a group of immune system genes that could play a role in how long people live after developing glioblastoma.
