An artificial-intelligence tool has shown promise at helping doctors fight aggressive brain tumours by identifying characteristics that help guide surgery.The tool — called the Cryosection Histopathology Assessment and Review Machine, or…

Engineering T cells to destroy cancer cells has shown success in treating some types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, it hasn't worked as well for solid tumors. One reason for this lack of success is that the T cells…

In a recently published manuscript, Howard Colman, MD, PhD, Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Professor of Neuro-Oncology and co-leader of the Neurologic Cancers Disease Center and the Experimental Therapeutics CCSG program at Huntsman Cancer…

A major impediment to treating the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma has been that the most potent chemotherapy can't permeate the blood-brain barrier to reach the aggressive brain tumor. But now Northwestern Medicine scientists report…

When Laura Dill learned in August 2019 that her father had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer, she resolved to spend as much time with him as possible.Dill, a busy wife and mother of three who…

In the tough war against glioblastoma, scientists are taking a cue from viruses on how to make the aggressive cancer more vulnerable to treatment. Their target is SAMHD1, a protein which can protect us from viral infections by destroying an…

Research led by doctors and scientists at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UCLA Jane & Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior have identified a gene that may provide a therapeutic target for the…
