Brain tumors: 3D experimental system to evaluate candidate drugs against glioma

Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system that originates from glial cells, which support neurons in the brain. In the less aggressive, slow-progressing forms, gliomas are of...

Microglia actively shape glioblastoma growth and tumor spread

Glioblastoma, the most common and most aggressive brain tumor type in adults, remains difficult to treat because it can infiltrate surrounding brain tissue and spread far beyond th...

The Brainiac

A Tiny Drug-Loaded Mesh Implanted in the Brain Is Keeping Glioblastoma at Bay

It’s smaller than a thumbnail. A dense, whitish square, barely a millimetre thick, laser-cut from a folded membrane of polymer fibres thinner than human hair. Under a microscope th...

Tile-Based Radiation Therapy Reduces Recurrence Risk in Brain Metastases, ASCO Study Finds

A groundbreaking advancement in the treatment of brain metastases has emerged from a recent multicenter Phase 3 clinical trial led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Cen...

UCLA Researchers Spearhead National Initiative to Advance Glioblastoma Patient Care

Glioblastoma, the most prevalent and virulent form of malignant brain tumor in adults, continues to defy the best efforts of the medical community, with patient survival rates show...

Depo-Provera and Meningioma: What the Latest Research Means for Women Who Used the Birth Control Shot

Meningioma brain tumors are often described as slow-growing and benign. But for many patients, the effects are anything but minor. These tumors can press on critical areas of the b...

Tumors May Not Develop Randomly Across the Brain — Fruit Flies May Help Explain the Pattern

Learn how brain tumor growth may depend not only on cancer-causing mutations, but also on the molecular conditions in specific brain regions.

Testosterone Slows Brain Tumor Growth, Overturning a Decades-Old Cancer Assumption

Everything oncologists thought they knew about testosterone and cancer pointed one direction. The hormone suppresses the immune system, shields tumors from attack, makes things wor...

Localized Synergistic Nanofibers Could Eliminate Glioblastoma

A new study details a localized "NanoMesh" implant that delivers three synergistic drugs directly to the site of glioblastoma tumors.
