Non-invasive electrical stimulation alters blood flow in brain tumors

Neuroscience NewsAugust 16, 2019

After a single session of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), researchers noted a significant reduction in blood flow to brain tumors. However, there were no alterations in blood flow or activity in the rest of the brain. The technique may be helpful in the treatment of brain cancers such as glioblastoma.... Read More...

Study hints at why an aggressive form of brain cancer is hard to treat

Neuroscience NewsJuly 19, 2019

Genetics and microenvironment influence the frequency of glioblastoma cells. Researchers provide a new blueprint for glioblastoma, integrating the malignant cell programs, cancer cell plasticity, and modulation by genetic drivers. The findings shed light on why this form of cancer is so hard to treat effectively.... Read More...

Daily coffee does not affect cancer risk

Neuroscience NewsJuly 18, 2019

Researchers report there is no real relationship between how many cups of coffee you drink per day and an increased risk of developing any particular cancer. They also ruled out a link between coffee intake and dying from the disease. ... Read More...

Study suggests possible link between sugary drinks and cancer

Neuroscience NewsJuly 11, 2019

An observational study found a link between sugary drink consumption and an increased risk of cancer. 100ml of sugary drinks per day was associated with an 18% risk of cancer overall, and a 22% increased risk of breast cancer. Researchers speculate the effect of sugar in sodas and fruit juices may be tied to blood sugar levels and inflammation, which are linked to the development of cancer. Other compounds, such as additives, may also play a role.... Read More...
