TUESDAY, Sept. 3, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Brain tumors in young children are rare, but those who survive them can lag in school for years afterwards, new research shows. For those families that can afford it, intervening when kids are still in the preschool years might hel...
My neurosurgeon inspired confidence in me that I would survive to live a long normal life; she said I might even be driving ten days after surgery. As such, I’ve been walking a sort of middle path. My condition’s not fatal but managing my tumor will require some serious attention and...
"The tumor cells actually resemble normal brain cells," said Simona Migliozzi, Ph.D., an assistant scientist at Sylvester and one of the study's lead authors. "Why? Because tumor cells want to survive, they want to live, and they're able to acquire therapy resistance by mimicking the nor...
You will feel better very quickly (in just a day or two) because the antibiotic kills the majority of the targeted bacteria very quickly. However, on occasion one of the bacterial offspring will contain a mutation that is able to survive the specific antibiotic. This bacteria will then ...
Compared with healthy stem cells from the brain, the cancer stem cells made more copies of a protein called Abcg1 that helps those cells survive stress. "This protein blocks a signal from inside the cells that should make them more vulnerable to treatment," Gutmann explained. "If we can id...
(1) is not a valid approximation to the more precise Eq. (3)17. Moreover, newborn humans cannot survive separated from their parents during some years and for this reason, the non-cohabitation Eq. (3) should be replaced by the so-called cohabitation equation, namely17,33,34...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer with remarkable cell migration and adaptation capabilities. Exploratory adaptation—utilization of random changes in gene regulation for adaptive benefits—was recently proposed as the process enabling organisms to survive unforeseen conditions. We inv...
T.gondiiis an obligate intracellular parasite, meaning that it must invade host cells to survive and proliferate [11]. To move through tissue,T. gondiiuses a unique form of cellular locomotion called ‘gliding motility,’ where it then recognizes cognate host cells and initiates a molecular progr...
