In this case study, a 28-year-old female diagnosed with BG, and lesions were observed in the pons and medulla region of the brain stem. She was initially treated with radiotherapy (54 Gy in 30 fractions for 6 weeks) but no change in her clinical condition and size of tumor was ...
Brain tumors are one of most common solid tumor types in kids and teens. And about 72% of the children who are diagnosed with a brain tumor are younger than age 15. Children can get several types of brain tumors, but the tumors usually start in different tissues from those in adults. T...
Childhood brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in the pediatric years and differ from primary central nervous system tumors occurring in adults. Management strategies must take into account not only the tumor type, but the age of the patient and the likelihoo...
(the neonatal period), the most important region of metabolic activity is the primary sensorimotor are, and that high activity is also found in thethalamus,brain stem, andcerebellar vermis(seeFig. 47.1). During the second postnatal month a smallincrease in metabolism in calcarine and temporal ...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) interact with the tumor mass, the peripheral immune system and activated astrocytes. The release of cytokines by endothelial cells and reactive astrocytes affects TAM and glioma stem cells (GSC), respectively. Created with BioRender.com. Microphysiological systems (MPS...
The higher the grade number, the more abnormal the cells appear, and the more aggressively the tumor usually behaves. The most common types of primary brain tumors among adults are astrocytoma, meningiom (a tumor that arises from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord), and ...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer in adults and is notoriously difficult to treat because of its diffuse nature. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on 3,589 cells in a cohort of four patients. We obtained cells from the tumor core as well as surroun...
City of Hope researchers expanded low-passage Glioblastoma stem cell (GSC), tumorsphere and serum-differentiated glioma lines from patient GBM specimens and assessed the expression of IL-13Rα2 positive cells (Brown et al., 2012). While IL-13Rα2 expression varied, IL-13Rα2-positive cells...
