New Immunotherapy Target for Malignant Brain Tumors

A new potential immunotherapy of malignant brain tumors has been uncovered by scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. The discovery, reported in the journal CELL, ...

Brain Tumor May Be Targeted Effectively By A Specific Enzyme

Over many years, every other new cancer treatments have faced failure as the tumor cells find ways to become treatment-resistant. Overcoming drug resistance thus sets to be a major goal in cancer research. Drug resistance developed by a ...

New Approach Holds Potential to Stop Growth of Brain Cancer Cells

Inhibiting a key enzyme that controls a large network of proteins important in cell division and growth paves the way for a new class of drugs that could stop glioblastoma. The inhibition of PRMT5 led to cell senescence, similar to what ...

New Study Links Cellular Transport Pathway to Aggressive Brain Cancer

A new cellular pathway that limits the growth and spread of brain tumors by controlling the recycling of cell surface receptor proteins has been discovered by McGill University researchers. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of brain ...

Which Recurrent Brain Tumors Respond To Immunotherapy?

Glioblastoma brain tumors are especially complex and puzzling. These tumors are lethal and they occasionally respond to new immunotherapies after they have grown back. Only 20 percent of the patients live well beyond predicted survival times. The ...

Researchers Say Tissue Healing Linked to Brain Cancer

Healing process that occurs after a brain injury could spur tumour growth when new cells generated to replace lost ones to the injury gets mutated, according to Toronto scientists. The findings were made by an interdisciplinary team of ...

Increased WBC May Be Not Good In Brain Cancer

White blood cells are a type of immune cells among which a particular type may cause aggressive glioblastomas – brain cancer tissues to die but, that's not good news, according to researchers at Penn State College of Medicine, published in the ...

Artificial Intelligence Helps Improve Treatment for Brain Tumor

In patients with glioblastoma (brain tumor) artificial intelligence measures the amount of muscle to help improve prognosis and treatment, said researchers. Dr Ella Mi, a clinical research fellow at Imperial College London (UK) will tell the ...

New Biomarkers for Brain Tumor Treatment Response Discovered

Biomarkers using mass cytometry were found to assess patient response to an emerging vaccine for glioma, a specific pediatric brain tumor, said a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The vaccine is safe and the ...

Loss of A Single Gene Results in Deadly Childhood Brain Cancer

Loss of a single gene negatively impacts neural growth and promotes tumor growth that results in atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRT), according to a research study. The study is published in the journal Genes & Development . Atypical ...

Drugs Against Alpha-ketoglutarate Fight Lethal Brain Tumor

Experimental drugs designed to lower the body’s synthesis of alpha-ketoglutarate extended the lives of mice harboring diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) by slowing the growth of the cancer cells, according to a study funded by the National ...

Novel Drug Targets for Fatal Brain Cancer Discovered

More than 200 genes with new and known roles in glioblastoma - the most aggressive brain cancer type offer promising new drug targets, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Genome Biology . Researchers ...

Leukemia Drug Holds Promise in Treating Pediatric Brain Cancer

Arsenic trioxide has potential to treat medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer most common in children, according to the team of researchers affiliated with the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP) in Brazil. When ...

Artificial Intelligence can Improve Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Novel machine learning approach classifies the grade of glioma more accurately and in a non-invasive manner, which can improve the brain tumor diagnosis. The findings of the study are published in the journal IEEE Access . A new machine ...

New Cancer Drug May treat Malignant Brain Tumor in Kids

MTX110, the new formulation of panobinostat, has shown promise in laboratory models of medulloblastoma. It is the focus of a novel trial that places the therapy directly into the fourth ventricle of the brain to treat patients with recurrent ...
