There are various types of head tumors including gliomas, which are the most common type of malignant tumor. An acoustic neuroma is another type of head tumor, which is a tumor on the nerve in the head that leads to the inner ear. This type of tumor interferes with hearing and is usuall...
Cell phones are dangerous: They emit microwaves. They produce heat. You hold the source of the emission close to your brain. There are claims that people have had brain tumors in the exact size, shape and position as the antenna on their cell phone. ...
Percentage of mesenchymal stem cells in high-grade glioma tumor samples correlates with patient survival Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to reside as stromal cells in human gliomas as glioma-associated hMSCs (GA-hMSCs), but their biologica... Tal,Shahar,Uri,... - 《Neuro...
Lipomas are benign tumors that consist mostly of fat cells. More frequently found in middle aged people, lipomas usually grow slowly beneath a person’s skin in the subcutaneous tissue. They are often not visible until they reach a relatively large size. At this point, they feel rubbery, so...
The current World Health Organization classification system of primary brain tumors is solely based on morphologic criteria. However, there is accumulating evidence that tumors with similar histology have distinct molecular signatures that significantly impact treatment response and survival. Recent practice-ch...

Since the cancer stem cell concept has been widely accepted, several strategies have been proposed to attack cancer stem cells (CSC). Accordingly, stem cell markers are now preferred therapeutic targets. However, the problem of tumor specificity has not

ADC targeting HER2 positive tumors are used as an experimental treatment in two (28.5%) clinical trials (NCT03821233, NCT03602079). So far, anti-HER2 therapies have yielded very limited evidence but promising data of the activity. A major barrier is due to the rarity of this alteration, ...
Table 1. Overview of the cellular components of the tumor environment (TEM) in gliomas and their main pathophysiological changes. 3. Microglia and Myeloid-Derived Cells Microglia are the resident macrophages in the healthy human brain. They develop from the embryonic yolk sac, after which immature...
