PHOTOS LATEST NEWS Antidepressant Shows Promise for Treating Brain Tumors September 23, 2024 Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive brain tumour that at present is incurable. Cancer doctors can extend patients’ life expectancy through operations, radiation, chemotherapy or surgical interventions. Neverth...

On August 11th, 2011, I had a seizure. I had never had a seizure before. I had not been having headaches or any other suspicious symptoms. I was taken to the ER at Emory. An MRI revealed a tumor in the right temporal lobe of my brain. Doctors removed it and determined that it was...
Infiltrative growth is a major cause of high lethality of malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma (GBM). We show here that GBM cells upregulate guidance receptor Plexin-B2 to gain invasiveness. Deletion of Plexin-B2 in GBM stem cells limited tumor spread and shifted invasion paths from axon ...
5a). Bioluminescent imaging demonstrated that injection of DHHC9-KO or GLUT1-KO U87 cells resulted in significant inhibition of brain tumor growth in mice (Fig. 5a), which was accompanied by a considerably prolonged survival time (Fig. 5b). These alterations were abrogated by reconstituted ...
In vivo studies further conrmed that cryogels could be safely implanted into the brain. Although the implantation of clemastine loaded cryogels did not prevent the growth of the primary tumor, it reduced the amount of invasion tumor cells compared with the mice only resected the tumor. ...
(D) Tumor weights in each group. (E) Representative photos of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections of each group after treatment (200× magnification). 3. Conclusions In summary, we have developed a strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of amonafide (ANF) by using an enzyme-...
Glioblastoma (GB), WHO grade IV, is considered to be the most rapidly progressive and invasive type of primary central nervous system tumor. GB occurs more frequently than other malignant brain tumors and has a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than 1 year [1]. Even with aggress...
MIF exerts multimodal functions in GBM including pro-proliferative, pro-migratory, pro-angiogenic as well as immune-evasive properties14,15,22. In two independent studies, brain tumor initiating cells (BTIC) or glioma stem cells (GSC) were shown to express high levels of MIF20,23. In addition...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized as a highly invasive, aggressive brain tumor1. Individuals with GBM face a poor prognosis, with few surviving past the 2-year mark1,2. A combination of chemotherapy, surgical resection, and radiotherapy is the gold standard for glioblastoma therapy, ...
