Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and deadliest type of brain cancer with a five-year survival rate of only 5%. Researchers at Penn State College…
New findings suggest that the blood vessels supplying aggressive brain tumors contain receptors that can be targeted by a novel type of drug-delivery nanoparticle. These…
In mouse studies, the drug was found to delay the growth of tumors and enhance the sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to anticancer treatments. Due to…
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, in collaboration with their partners, have made a breakthrough by becoming the first to treat MYC…
The study provides key information about gliomas’ size and growth rate. An important new hint for preventing and treating brain tumors known as gliomas has…
Living near regions prone to wildfires may boost the risk of developing lung cancer and brain tumors. By looking at a population of nearly 2…
Findings from a seven-year research project suggests that there could be a new approach to treating one of the most common and devasting forms of…
The approach, studied in mice, overcomes the blood-brain barrier and breaks the shield tumors build against the immune response. When researchers at the University of…
Recurring brain tumor growth is halted with a new drug A patient’s options are limited when a non-metastatic brain tumor — a meningioma — recurs…
Investigators uncovered a diagnostic method to identify receptors on cancer cells in the blood, then engineered a cell-based therapy to target and kill tumor cells…
A recent study by Nagoya University researchers revealed that microRNAs in urine could be a promising biomarker to diagnose brain tumors. Their findings, published in…
Wake Forest researchers suggest nicotine replacement therapies may not be suitable smoking cessation strategies for this population. Researchers at Wake Forest School of Medicine have…
Organoids (In Vitro Brains) to Study Pediatric Brain Tumors A large-scale production of in vitro tumors could make it possible to perform large drug screenings…
Researchers with the University of Cincinnati used coaxial electrospinning to create a treatment for glioblastoma multiforme. A novel engineering process can deliver a safe and…
Use of brain-like extracellular matrix allows cell growth and treatment to more closely replicate physiological response. A team of Tufts University-led researchers has developed three-dimensional…
A team of researchers from MIT, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Agios Pharmaceuticals are using MR spectroscopy to measure whether brain tumors have a…
