OK Icon Lifestyle Cancer Sophie Kinsella has died at the age of 55 after a battle with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer that has a number of concerning symptoms Emilia Randall GAU Writer 16:26, 10 Dec 2025 Best-selling author Sophie Kinsella has tragically died at just 55 following…

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have modified a herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) that stimulates the immune system to attack glioblastoma cells. A single dose of the modified virus increased T-cell, natural killer cell, and myeloid cell responses in the tumor microenvironment and increased the overall survival in preclinical models. Results…

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, working with scientists at Northwestern University, have created a noninvasive strategy to treat one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of brain cancer. Their method relies on carefully designed nanostructures made from extremely small materials that can carry potent…

The malignant pediatric brain tumor medulloblastoma is driven by proteins deep within the cancer cells, for which there are often no effective drugs available. Researchers at Uppsala University have identified a new genetic technique that enables targeting of tumour cells with elevated levels of such proteins. The technique could be…

Updated : , ,   NEW YORK (AP) — Five years after their influential drummer and lyricist Neil Peart died of glioblastoma, the Canadian band Rush have announced a reunion tour. On Monday, Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson revealed a 12-date, seven city tour is scheduled for summer…

Scientists report that rogue rings of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) can emerge strikingly early in glioblastoma and may set the tempo for the cancer’s rapid growth and treatment resistance. Often carrying EGFR and quickly evolving, these rings hint at a narrow window for earlier detection and ecDNA-informed intervention. The work elevates…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 36, September 2025. SignificanceMitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of cancer, driving dedifferentiation and progression. Here, we introduce a mitochondria-centric differentiation therapy that combines retinoic acid (RA) with a mitochondrial uncoupler to restore ...Read More

University of Kentucky University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers have discovered a genetic biomarker that could help identify patients with glioblastoma most likely to benefit from the cancer drug bevacizumab. The study, published in JCO Precision Oncology, found that brain tumors from patients treated with bevacizumab who lived longer…
