Coupling of Proteins Promotes Glioblastoma Development, Researchers Find
October 21, 2011 — Two previously unassociated proteins known to be overly active in a variety of cancers bind together to ignite and sustain malignant brain tumors, a research team ... > full story -
Feed a Cold -- Starve a Tumor
October 21, 2011 — The condition tuberous sclerosis, due to mutation in one of two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 or TSC2, causes the growth of non-malignant tumors throughout the body and skin. New research shows that ... > full story -
More Evidence That Allergies May Help in Fighting Brain Tumors
October 20, 2011 — Subjects with somewhat elevated levels of antibodies produced to fight allergens were less likely to go on to develop brain tumors, according to a new study. The study adds to evidence from prior ... > full story -
New Tool to Help Surgeons Remove More Cancer Tissue During Brain Surgery
October 20, 2011 — Scientists are reporting development and successful initial testing of a new tool that tells whether brain tissue is normal or cancerous while an operation is underway, so that surgeons can remove ... > full story -
Turning Up the Heat to Kill Cancer Cells: The 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
October 20, 2011 — The "Lance Armstrong effect" could become a powerful new weapon to fight cancer cells that develop resistance to chemotherapy, radiation and other treatments, scientists ... > full story -
Tagging Tumors With Gold: Scientists Use Gold Nanorods to Flag Brain Tumors
October 12, 2011 — When removing a brain tumor, even the slightest mistake could have serious health consequences. To help surgeons, researchers have proposed a way to harness the unique optical properties of gold ... > full story -
New Way to Screen for Brain Cancer Stem Cell Killers
October 11, 2011 — Researchers have developed and used a high-throughput molecular screening approach that identifies and characterizes chemical compounds that can target the stem cells that are responsible for ... > full story -
Bone Marrow Cells Migrate to Tumors and Can Slow Their Growth
October 7, 2011 — Bone marrow-derived cells participate in the growth and spread of tumors of the breast, brain, lung, and stomach. To examine the role of BMDCs, researchers developed a mouse model that could be used ... > full story -
Dioxin-Like Chemical Messenger Makes Brain Tumors More Aggressive
October 6, 2011 — Researchers have discovered a new metabolic pathway which makes malignant brain tumors more aggressive and weakens patients' immune systems. Using drugs to inhibit this metabolic pathway is a new ... > full story -
Nanoparticles Seek and Destroy Glioblastoma in Mice
October 3, 2011 — Scientists have combined a tumor-homing peptide, a cell-killing peptide, and a nanoparticle. When administered to mice with glioblastoma that could not otherwise be treated, this new nanosystem ... > full story -
How Normal Cells Become Brain Cancers
September 28, 2011 — Brain tumor specimens taken from neurosurgery cases have given scientists a new window on the transformation that occurs as healthy brain cells begin to form ... > full story -
New Stem Cell Activity Identified in Human Brain
September 28, 2011 — Researchers have identified a new pathway of stem cell activity in the brain that represents potential targets of brain injuries affecting newborns. The recent study raises new questions of how the ... > full story
