New Gene Discovery Could Halt Metastatic Cancer Spread

A new study identifies the Gstt1 gene as crucial for metastatic cancer cell growth. Researchers found that silencing Gstt1 in metastatic cells prevents their spread. This gene helps cancer cells modify their environment, facilitating growth in new body locations. The findings offer potential new therapeutic strategies to target metastatic cancer, especially in aggressive types like pancreatic cancer.

Study Pinpoints a Genetic Cause of Most Lethal Brain Tumor and May Lead to New Treatment

Researchers discovered that some cases of glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of primary brain cancer, are caused by the fusion of two adjacent genes. The study also found that drugs that target the protein produced by this genetic aberration can dramatically slow the growth of glioblastomas in mice.

Glioblastoma Found to Erode Skull and Hijack Immune System

Glioblastoma, the most lethal brain cancer, doesn’t just damage the brain—it erodes the skull and disrupts the immune system by reshaping marrow inside the skull. Researchers discovered that tumors increase skull-to-brain channels, allowing waves of inflammatory immune cells to flow to the cancer site, fueling its growth.
