Brain Cancer
Brain Cancer research articles are listed. Brain cancer news covers topics such as diagnosis, brain tumors, chemotherapy, gamma knife technology, brain cancer treatments, glioblastomas, stem cell research, neurosurgery, medicine, genetics, neurology, and other brain research.
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital have identified several gene mutations responsible for the most common childhood brain tumor, called medulloblastoma, adding evidence to the theory that the diagnosis is a group of genetically distinct cancers with different prognoses. These and accompanying findings are likely to lead to less toxic, better targeted treatment approaches over the next two years, the researchers said. 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 are developing nanocarriers that are twice as effective as liposomes at reaching glioblastoma brain tumors. Read More
Study finds significant expression of the Alzheimer's related Tau protein in glioma cells, especially in patients with better prognoses. 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
Depriving glioblastoma brain cancer cells of cholesterol caused tumor regression and prolonged survival in mouse models of the disease, a new study reports. Read More
A new study discovers molecular pathways that could lead to new targeted therapies which may potentially treat Glioblastoma, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer in adults. Read More
Glioma brain tumors disrupt neural synchrony between bilateral cortical regions. The findings provide new insight into the association between seizures and tumor progression. Read More
In aging mice, chronic inflammatory processes lead lymphoma cells which entered the brain to be retained, rather than released directly back into the blood. Read More
Researchers have established the structure of the tumor suppressing PTEN protein. Read More
