Study finds how gene therapy shows promising early results for brain tumor
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
A recent study from the University of Michigan Department of Neurosurgery and Rogel Cancer Centre demonstrates encouraging preliminary findings that a therapy combining cell-killing and immune-stimulating drugs is safe and effective in extending survival for patients with gliomas, a particu

Study discovers improved survival for incurable brain tumours
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
For the first time, researchers discovered a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients suffering from a type of childhood brain tumour that has no effective treatment. When compared to previous patients, the compound, called ONC201, nearly doubled survival for patients wit

Head injuries could be risk factor for developing brain cancer
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A very uncommon but frequently aggressive type of brain tumour called a glioma may be caused by damage, according to key molecular research from the UCL Cancer Centre. Although there may be a connection between head trauma and an increase in brain tumour incidence, the evidence is conflictin

Everything you need to know about how blood-brain barrier works
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researching the wall separating the circulatory system from the neurological system has been highly difficult or limited in its use of models. In order to properly investigate potential new treatments for brain tumours, researchers have created a more realistic model.

Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre

Research reveals glioma drug exploits DNA repair defects to selectively ta
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): A new class of glioma medications takes advantage of tumours lacking the DNA repair enzyme MGMT; the medications cause the generation of cytotoxic DNA and kill tumour cells specifically without the risk of developing resistance, according to research.
