Research team discovered synergies between two developmental pathways responsible for tumor progression in glioblastoma, in the hopes of identifying future therapeutic avenues.
Investigating Mitochondria Transfer in Glioblastoma (Podcast)
A leading brain tumor researcher explains how the transfer of mitochondria from astrocytes may fuel glioblastoma growth.
Mitochondria Transfer From Healthy Astrocytes Fuels Glioblastoma Tumorigenicity
Glioblastoma cells use mitochondria from the central nervous system to grow and form more aggressive tumors, a new study finds. The finding suggests new opportunities for therapeutic development.
Survival Is Associated With Subsets of T Cells in Recurrent Glioblastoma Treated With SL-701
T-cell immunophenotyping sheds light on immune response to investigational SL-701-based therapy and promises to inform patient selection to maximize the likelihood of survival benefit.

Phase 1 Trial Shows Drug-Resistant Immunotherapy for Glioblastoma Is Safe and Feasible
This novel approach involves injecting supercharged immune cells directly into the tumor cavity in the brain. Encouraging initial findings have set the stage for the launch of phase 2 testing.
Failed Alzheimer’s Drug Shows Promise for Treating Glioblastoma in Preclinical Study
Treatment of preclinical models of glioblastoma with a BACE1 inhibitor reprogrammed tumor-promoting macrophages into tumor-suppressing macrophages, destroying tumor cells in the process.
High-Fat Diet Linked to Aggressive Glioblastoma in Preclinical Study
Hydrogen sulfide signaling emerged as a possible glioblastoma tumor suppressor that is highly sensitive to dysregulation by dietary fat. The findings suggest a potential role for dietary interventions that boost hydrogen sulfide bioavailability.
New Glioma Stem Cell-Related Target Identified for Potential Treatment of Glioblastoma
A preclinical study shows that inhibiting DNA-dependent protein kinase induces glioma stem cell differentiation and thereby sensitizes glioblastoma to radiation therapy.
New Study Explores Feasibility of Novel Treatment Approach for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Researchers are using low-frequency focused ultrasound with microbubble resonators to disrupt the blood-brain barrier and deliver chemotherapy to tumor cells in the brain.
Progress and Promise in Brain Tumor Research (Podcast)
Our latest Neuro Pathways podcast delves into glioblastoma research, touching on everything from single-cell RNA sequencing to sex differences and microbiome effects.
