Brain tumor stem cells are a rare population of stem-like cells in gliomas that may be responsible for tumor growth, recurrence and resistance, implying that targeting these cells may improve ...

A study led by Dr. Peter Canoll's lab, in collaboration with researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, ...

To demonstrate the applicability of Hi-Q brain organoids for drug screening, glioma invasion was modelled by fusing patient-derived glioma stem cells (GSCs) to Hi-Q brain organoids and used for a ...

An analysis of adults with malignant glioma revealed that men were diagnosed at a younger age and women had worse ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take advantage of ...

A research team has identified a critical event driving tumor growth in a type of medulloblastoma -- and a way to block it.

Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) are a group of tumors that affect children, teenagers, and young adults. They are the most common tumors of the brain and spinal cord in young people.

They most commonly grow in the pons in region of the brain stem ... Diffuse midline gliomas, or DIPGs, typically strike children. The fast growing tumour can also occur in adults, too.

Cells can be delivered to the rodent brain noninvasively ... fluorescently labeled mesenchymal stem cells or human glioma cells to the upper nasal cavity of adult mice or young rats, respectively.
