Blastoma

Researchers have used insight from a comprehensive genomic analysis of neuroblastoma to learn about the process driving one of the most common childhood solid tumors. The findings revealed possible approaches for developing precision medicines to improve patient outcomes. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists led the study, which appears today…

Michael Tran/FilmMagic Tom Parker, one of the five members of the early-2010s boy band The Wanted, has revealed he's been diagnosed with a brain tumor and that he's been undergoing treatment. In an emotional Instagram post on Monday (October 12), the British singer wrote that instead of battling privately or…

British singer Tom Parker, best known as a member of the boy band The Wanted, has shared that he is "devastated" after being been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, an inoperable brain tumor that has no cure.Parker, 32, whose wife is expecting their second child, revealed the diagnosis on Instagram…

Summary: A nanomedicine-based strategy for chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) of glioblastoma (GBM), which has the worst prognosis among brain tumors, was successfully developed. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the combined use of epirubicin-encapsulating nano-micelles (Epi/m) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) eradicated PTEN-negative GBM, which is highly resistant to ICI alone. Due to…

Many modern cancer drugs target a specific genetic mutation that is driving a particular cancer's runaway growth and division -- such as the HER-2 protein in some breast cancers or EGFR in certain lung cancers. But this strategy hasn't worked well against glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, which…

AbstractCell division and organismal development are exquisitely orchestrated and regulated processes. The dysregulation of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes may cause cancer, a consequence of cell-intrinsic and/or cell-extrinsic events. Cellular DNA can be damaged by spontaneous hydrolysis, reactive oxygen species, aberrant cellular metabolism or other perturbations that cause DNA…

Several studies reported that high dose of luteolin activates the Nrf2/ARE pathway in the liver. However, the effect of the low dose…
