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 -
Personalized Gene Therapies May Increase Survival in Brain Cancer Patients
January 9, 2012 — Personalized prognostic tools and gene-based therapies may improve the survival and quality of life of patients suffering from glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer, reports a ... > full story -
Novel Brain Tumor Vaccine Acts Like Bloodhound to Locate Cancer Cells
January 5, 2012 — A national U.S. clinical trial testing the efficacy of a novel brain tumor vaccine has begun. The vaccine will be tested in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most ... > full story -
Cancer-Killing Compound Spares Healthy Cells
January 4, 2012 — Lithocholic acid (LCA), naturally produced in the liver during digestion, has been seriously underestimated. A new study shows that LCA can kill several types of cancer cells, such as those found in ... > full story -
Agent Shows Ability to Suppress Brain Metastasis and Related Damage
January 3, 2012 — Brain metastasis remains an unconquered challenge in cancer treatment. Pigment epithelium-derived factor suppressed brain damage. Agent is already being studied for macular ... > full story -
Amplification of Multiple Cell-Growth Genes Found in Some Brain Tumors
December 1, 2011 — A small percentage of the deadly brain tumors called glioblastomas, which usually resist treatment with drugs targeting mutations in cell-growth genes, appears to contain extra copies of two or three ... > full story -
Enhanced Treatment of Brain Tumors
November 23, 2011 — Scientists have tested a combination of radiation treatment and a substance that blocks the transforming growth factor beta for treating glioblastoma. In the mouse model, this combination therapy was ... > full story
