Possible New Pathway Can Overcome Glioblastoma Resistance
January 24, 2012 — Glioblastoma, a lethal brain cancer, is one of the most resistant to available therapies and patients typically live approximately 15 months. Previous research has focused on the activation of the ... > full story -
New Way Developed to Image Brain Tumors and Predict Recurrence
January 24, 2012 — After people with low-grade glioma, a type of brain cancer, undergo neurosurgery to remove the tumors, they face variable odds of survival — depending largely on how rapidly the cancer recurs. ... > full story -
Cell Signaling Key to Stopping Growth and Migration of Brain Cancer Cells
January 18, 2012 — Inhibition of cell signaling through the Mer receptor tyrosine kinase pathway shown to both sensitize glioblastoma cells to chemotherapy and decrease their ability to migrate to other, non-targeted ... > full story -
Brain Glia Cells Increase Their DNA Content to Preserve Vital Blood-Brain Barrier
January 13, 2012 — Scientists report that as the developing larval fruit fly brain grows by cell division, it instructs subperineurial glia (SPG) cells that form the blood-brain barrier to enlarge by creating multiple ... > full story -
Selectively Stopping Glutathione Sensitizes Brain Tumors to Chemotherapy
January 12, 2012 — Brain cancer cells are especially resistant to chemotherapy -- new research details the mechanism of this resistance and provides a powerful strategy for countering ... > full story -
