Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...

Research uncovering the origin of pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain tumor, has also revealed a dependency across multiple brain tumor types that share a similar molecular program. Scientists at St ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this ...

Scientists have identified a set of light-sensing genes critical to the development of pineoblastoma, a rare childhood brain tumor, and found similar genetic dependencies in medulloblastoma and ...

Oligodendroglioma is a rare type of brain tumor. It’s in a category of brain and spinal cord tumors called gliomas. These are brain or spinal cord tumors that come from abnormal glial cells, the ...

Findings show that tumor cells reprogram energy pathways to fuel growth in childhood brain cancer. Experimental drugs that ...

Brain tumors cannot always be successfully treated with conventional therapies. A team from Empa and the hospital network HOCH Health Ostschweiz is therefore developing nanozymes that can attack ...
