Could Targeting a Virus Treat a Common Pediatric Brain Tumor?
September 26, 2011 — Medulloblastomas are the most common cancerous (malignant) brain tumors in children. Although survival rates have improved over the years, medulloblastoma remains associated with substantial ... > full story -
Novel Technique Reveals Both Gene Number and Protein Expression Simultaneously
September 22, 2011 — Researchers have discovered a method to simultaneously measure gene number and protein expression in individual cells. The fluorescence microscopy technique could permit a detailed analysis of the ... > full story -
Key Regulatory Genes Often Amplified in Aggressive Childhood Tumor of the Brainstem
September 19, 2011 — The largest study ever of a rare childhood brain tumor found more than half the tumors carried extra copies of specific genes linked to cancer growth, according to new ... > full story -
Targeting Cholesterol to Fight Deadly Brain Cancers
September 15, 2011 — Blocking the uptake of large amounts of cholesterol into brain cancer cells could provide a new strategy to battle glioblastoma, one of the most deadly malignancies, researchers have ... > full story -
Research Points to Potential Therapy for Tumor-Associated Epilepsy
September 11, 2011 — Brain tumors called gliomas are often associated with seizures, but why the seizures occur and how to effectively treat them have been elusive. A research team has found that human gliomas implanted ... > full story -
Metabolic State of Brain Cancer Stem Cells Significantly Different Than the Cancer Cells They Create
September 6, 2011 — The metabolic state of glioma stem cells, which give rise to deadly glioblastomas, is significantly different from that of the brain cancer cells to which they give birth, a factor which helps those ... > full story -
Choice of Seizure Drug for Brain Tumor Patients May Affect Survival
August 31, 2011 — New research suggests brain tumor patients who take the seizure drug valproic acid on top of standard treatment may live longer than people who take other kinds of epilepsy medications to control ... > full story -
Uncovering the Spread of Deadly Cancer: New Imaging Device Enables Scientists to See Tumor Cells Traveling in the Brain
August 26, 2011 — For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor ... > full story -
Brain Tumors Found to Have a Two-Tier System
August 23, 2011 — Scientists have completed the largest ever molecular-biological analysis of ependymoma, a dangerous brain tumor in children. They were able to define two distinct subgroups of ependymoma which differ ... > full story -
Small Molecules Shed Light on Cancer Therapies
August 22, 2011 — Patients suffering from an aggressive brain cancer will benefit from the results of a new study that could advance the development of targeted gene therapies and improve ... > full story -
Mutant Gene Identified That Causes Abnormal Chromosome Count, Leading to Cancer
August 18, 2011 — Cells with too few or too many chromosomes have long been known to be a hallmark of cancer -- but the cause of this abnormal number of chromosomes has been little understood. Now, researchers have ... > full story -
Immunogene Therapy Combined With Standard Treatment Is Safe for Patients With Brain Tumors, Study Suggests
August 15, 2011 — An early phase clinical trial has shown that a form of gene therapy is safe even when combined with radiation therapy for treating brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and ... > full story
