• Brain stent offers alternative to shunt for fixing potentially blinding vein narrowing

  A team of interventional neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons at Johns Hopkins reports wide success with a new procedure to treat pseudotumor cerebri, a rare but potentially blinding condition marked by excessive pressure inside the skull, caused by a dangerous narrowing of a vein located at the base more

• Patient's own immune cells may blunt viral therapy for brain cancer

  Doctors now use cancer-killing viruses to treat some patients with lethal, fast-growing brain tumors. Clinical trials show that these therapeutic viruses are safe but less effective than expected.A new study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. Jame more

• Genome analysis of brain tumors showing the way to new treatment strategies

  Brain tumors are the primary cause of cancer mortality in children. Even if a cure is possible, young patients often suffer from the stressful treatment which can be harmful to the developing brain. The most common childhood brain tumors are medulloblastoma and pylocytic astrocytoma. In order to fin more

• Integration of epidemiology, immunobiology, and translational research for brain tumors

  We recently identified a pivotal role for the host type I interferon (IFN) pathway in immunosurveillance against de novo mouse glioma development, especially through the regulation of immature myeloid cells (IMCs) in the glioma microenvironment. The present paper summarizes our published work in a more

• Fluorescence Molecular Tomography of Brain Tumors in Mice

  Fluorescence molecular tomography of tissues is a method that three-dimensionally resolves fluorescence biodistribution in vivo, with applications in small-animal research and pre-clinical diagnostics. There are many alternative imaging geometries in optical tomographic experimental systems, but in more

• Genome-wide RNAi screens in human brain tumor isolates reveal a novel viability requirement for PHF5A [Research Papers]

  To identify key regulators of human brain tumor maintenance and initiation, we performed multiple genome-wide RNAi screens in patient-derived glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) stem cells (GSCs). These screens identified the plant homeodomain (PHD)-finger domain protein PHF5A as differentially required more
