glioma

Brain tumors use the brain’s plasticity to promote their own growth.

Scientists established an epigenetic mouse model for glioma, providing insight into how epigenetics can initiate cancer.

Researchers built a 3D glioblastoma model to study therapeutic resistance and improve drug screening systems.

New research may make immunotherapy possible for hard-to-treat brain tumors.

Starving glioblastoma tumors of the cholesterol made by astrocytes could suppress brain cancer progression.

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the cancer biologist is combining research into the tumor microenvironment with the principles of neuroscience to tease apart how cancers grow—and how to stop them.

Researchers turned white blood cells called neutrophils into drug-smuggling “neutrobots,” which penetrated the blood-brain barrier to treat brain cancer in mice.

Researchers use a cutting-edge technique to map the blood vessels of brain tumors as patients are awake during surgery with the hope of reducing damage to adjacent tissues.

Three studies show that tumor cells can behave like neurons.

Mouse study demonstrates the ability of a cancer vaccine targeted against a specific oncogenic mutation to elicit a protective anti-tumor immune response. 

A new camera system supports the visualization of gliomas stained with Tumor Paint, a chlorotoxin-based imaging agent that’s currently in clinical trials.
