Lipids responsible for neural function are highly active and not inert. The findings challenge traditional beliefs about mature myelin. Read More
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.
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
Astrocytes hijack microglia for the benefit of tumor growth in medulloblastoma, causing the microglia to produce IGF1. The findings could aid in the development of new treatments for a range of cancers. Read More
A new, freely available computer platform creates a 3D model that brings together the macroscopic scale of tissue with the microscopic scale of individual cells. This allows the platform to realistically model brain cancer's mechanobiology while maintaining resolution power. Read More
A single dose of the psychedelic psilocybin reduces depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness in cancer patients for 12 months after the drug is administered. Read More
Copy number variants may act as genetic modifiers that influence the risk of autism and developmental delay versus cancer risk in people with PTEN mutations. Read More
Several variants of the PIK3CA gene drive brain tumor progression. Two of the variants alter the expression of genes involved in synapses. Read More
Study finds significant expression of the Alzheimer's related Tau protein in glioma cells, especially in patients with better prognoses. Read More
Chronobiologists warn changing to daylight savings can have serious effects on both brain and general health. The change in time during spring was linked to a 24% increase in severe cardiovascular events in women. Researchers also noted the sudden change in time alters circadian rhythms, reduces the production of natural melatonin, impacts cognitive function, and may also foster tumor growth. Read More
A new brain chip allows multiple simultaneous drugs to be administered directly to glioblastoma brain cancer tumors. 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
OCIAD1, a protein commonly associated with ovarian cancer, contributes to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease by impairing mitochondrial function, leading to synaptic damage and neural vulnerability. Read More
