By analyzing tumor proteins and their modifications, the team discovered that glioblastoma cells transform into neuron-like states to resist initial therapies. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/glioblastoma-cancer-neurons-treatment-25445/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-cancer-anxiolitics-treatment-24997/ Thu, 26 Oct 2023 13:20:46 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97809 Cerebrospinal fluid, our brain's protective liquid, may be making brain cancers like glioblastoma more resistant to treatments. These findings indicate that when tumor cells are exposed to this fluid, they alter identity, resisting radiation and common medications. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/sweet-annie-brain-cancer-covid-23899/ Fri, 08 Sep 2023 15:12:02 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=96897 Researchers delve into the Artemisia annua plant, known as Sweet Annie, to uncover the medicinal potential of its compounds. By studying Arteannuin B, a compound within the plant, they are seeking to understand its bioactive properties in treating cancer cells and COVID-19. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-cancer-neurotech-23889/ Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:56:51 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=96851 Researchers developed a minuscule device, akin to a grain of rice in size, that can simultaneously test numerous treatments for challenging brain cancers like gliomas. Implanted into a patient's tumor during surgery and removed afterward, the device offers real-time insights on drug effects on the tumor microenvironment.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-cancer-genetics-chemo-resistance-23871/ Mon, 04 Sep 2023 18:04:38 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=96762 Researchers identified two genes - NEK2 and INHBA - responsible for causing chemotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer patients. Remarkably, when these genes are silenced, previously resistant cancer cells begin responding to chemotherapy. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-cancer-neurons-23853/ Wed, 30 Aug 2023 18:02:50 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=96623 New research challenges the widely held belief that cognitive impairments from brain metastasis are solely due to the tumor's mass effect. The study reveal that metastasis alters the brain’s chemistry and disrupts neural communication. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-anxiety-cancer-23769/ https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-anxiety-cancer-23769/#comments Mon, 07 Aug 2023 19:38:03 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=96156 The association between depression, anxiety and cancer risk has been a point of contention in scientific circles. In an new study a multi-national team refutes the idea that these mental health conditions are linked to most types of cancer. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-anxiety-cancer-23769/feed/ 1 https://neurosciencenews.com/ai-brain-cancer-neurosurgery-23592/ Fri, 07 Jul 2023 18:56:26 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=95329 Scientists have created an AI tool, called CHARM, that can swiftly identify a brain tumor's molecular identity during surgery, a process that typically takes days or weeks. This advance could help neurosurgeons make critical decisions about the extent of tissue removal and possible on-the-spot treatments. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/virus-glioblastoma-cancer-23569/ https://neurosciencenews.com/virus-glioblastoma-cancer-23569/#comments Mon, 03 Jul 2023 17:06:30 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=95237 The reactivation of a dormant retrovirus, HML-2, may contribute to the aggressiveness of glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor. Researchers discovered that the virus influences the stem-cell state of the tumors, thereby promoting a more resistant form of cancer. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/virus-glioblastoma-cancer-23569/feed/ 1 https://neurosciencenews.com/glioma-cancer-pharmacology-23393/ Sun, 04 Jun 2023 22:13:51 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=94361 A newly developed drug, Vorasidenib, has shown promise in prolonging progression-free survival for patients with a subtype of glioma. The international study found that patients taking Vorasidenib could go nearly 17 more months without their cancer worsening, postponing the need for radiation and chemotherapy. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/pembrolizumad-immunotherapy-brain-cancer-23387/ Fri, 02 Jun 2023 21:13:38 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=94340 A phase 2 clinical trial of pembrolizumab has shown promising results, with 42% of patients with metastatic brain cancer benefiting from the treatment. The trial found that pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy, was tolerated and demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with brain metastases. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/glioblastoma-brain-cancer-destruction-23327/ https://neurosciencenews.com/glioblastoma-brain-cancer-destruction-23327/#comments Wed, 24 May 2023 18:30:35 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=94068 Researchers discovered a method to induce self-destruction in glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. By introducing a specially developed molecule that inhibits the hijacked adaptive mechanisms cancer cells use to manage stress, the researchers triggered the cancer cells to self-destruct.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/glioblastoma-brain-cancer-destruction-23327/feed/ 1
