Researchers at Stanford University discover that the absence of a particular protein halts the growth of high-grade gliomas

Researchers have barcoded cancer cells to learn more about growth patterns in hopes of developing more targeted treatments.

Researchers have developed ‘nanoswimmers’ that cross the blood brain barrier highly efficiently.

In a new article for Nature Communication, scientists Gelareh Zadeh and Ken Aldape explain that radiation given during childhood cancer treatments causes DNA to rearrange. This rearrangement of DNA can then lead to menigiomas.

The group of researchers at UCL, funded by The Charity are led by Professor Paolo Salomoni and have discovered that cells are capable of migrating through tissues in the body

This promising technique was developed by Researchers from the University of Oxford, UK and the University of Twente, Netherlands

The annual report by Prof Dame Sally Davies says that the genomic plan should be implemented within 5 years in the NHS

A probe that was first developed by researchers in Canada in 2015 has since been perfected by the team

A new study from the CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in India examined the mechanism of gene expression within brain tumours and found a lack of microRNA editing

A study conducted by Judith Schwartzbaum from the University of Ohio has found that changes in the immune systems appear to signal brain cancer 5 years before symptoms arise

Researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson have discovered an enzyme that helps brain tumours grow in nutrient-starved environments

The terminal illness charity is looking for applications that address its key research priorities identified by carers, health and social care professionals and people with terminal illness, and particularly, those areas that have until now received the least attention

Researchers at McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), Montreal have developed a new clinical approach to enhance the efficiency of treatment for glioblastomas, which increased the average survival time to 22 months.

Scientists from The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) have discovered 13 new genetic errors related with an increased risk of developing glioma in one of the largest ever studies of this devastating disease

Findings from a study published in the International Journal of Nanomedicine have shown for the first time that the drug Panobinostat can be encapsulated in a water soluble molecule and delivered to a brain tumour to destroy high grade glioma cells.

Researcher and clinicians at King’s College Hospital in London are trialling a Virtual Reality (VR) app to help children due to undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that advanced precision medicine has beneficial applications for treating childhood brain tumours.

Earlier this week, positive results were released from a clinical study testing a combination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) as a treatment in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) patients in the UK.

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a novel piece of technology that acts as a tiny flashlight, allowing surgeons to see into the brain. This machinery could transform neurosurgery for both patients and doctors.

The cause behind millions of cases of food poisoning has been surprisingly effective in crossing the blood brain barrier to reach tumour sites. Researchers at Duke University genetically modified the bacteria Salmonella to enable it to seek out and attack glioblastoma tumour cells in animal models.

Scientists at the University of Leeds have discovered that targeting a protein that helps cancer cells repair their DNA could lead to a new treatment for the highly aggressive brain tumour, glioblastoma (GBM).

A team at The Scripps Research Institute, USA, have been able to identify a cellular pathway used by glioblastoma (GBM) tumours to allow them to survive, that could be exploited therapeutically to halt tumour growth.

The Biobanking Consensus Meeting, initiated by us, is being held at Islington’s Business Design Centre in London.

Researchers from Toronto and Montreal have successfully identified three distinct sub-groups of classification of the incurable typical teratoid rhabdoid tumours (ATRTs).
