Synergistic Combination of Perphenazine and Temozolomide Suppresses Patient-Derived Glioblastoma Tumorspheres

Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant primary brain tumor. Despite current standard treatments such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the prognosis remains extremely poor, with a median survival of only 14.6 months. Traditional treatments often fail to completely eradicate the tumor and are prone to recur...

Glutamate Dehydrogenase 1-Catalytic Glutaminolysis Feedback Activates EGFR/PI3K/AKT Pathway and Reprograms Glioblastoma Metabolism

Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and heterogeneous central nervous system tumors, with an extremely poor prognosis. Despite the emergence of novel therapies such as anti-angiogenic treatments and immunotherapy in recent years, the survival period of GBM patients remains very limited. GBM cells exhibit unique meta...

EVA1-Antibody Drug Conjugate as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Eliminating Glioblastoma-Initiating Cells

Background Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with a median survival of approximately 15 months. Despite the use of multimodal treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the overall survival rate of GBM patients has not significantly improved over the past few decades. Recent studies have...

ROR1 Facilitates Glioblastoma Growth via Stabilizing GRB2 to Promote c-fos Expression in Glioma Stem Cells

Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor, with significant treatment challenges and a poor prognosis. Despite advancements in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the 5-year survival rate for GBM patients remains below 4%. The recurrence and therapeutic resistance of GBM are primarily attribut...

The Novel DNA Cross-Linking Agent KL-50 is Active Against Patient-Derived Models of New and Recurrent Post-Temozolomide Mismatch Repair-Deficient Glioblastoma

Breakthrough Study on KL-50 in Treating Recurrent Glioblastoma Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant brain tumor, particularly in patients with IDH wild-type (IDHwt), who have a very poor prognosis. Although the current standard treatment includes surgical resection, radiotherapy, and Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, most patients eve...

Prospective Longitudinal Analysis of Physiologic MRI-Based Tumor Habitat Predicts Short-Term Patient Outcomes in IDH-Wildtype Glioblastoma

Prospective Longitudinal Analysis of Physiologic MRI-Based Tumor Habitat Predicts Short-Term Patient Outcomes in IDH-Wildtype Glioblastoma Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant brain tumor characterized by significant intratumoral heterogeneity, which is evident not only in gene expression and histopathology but also in macro...

Radiation-Induced Cellular Plasticity Primes Glioblastoma for Forskolin-Mediated Differentiation

Radiation-Induced Cellular Plasticity Primes Glioblastoma for Forskolin-Mediated Differentiation Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest brain cancers in adults, with a median survival period of only 15 to 18 months for patients. Although surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy can delay disease progression, these treatments ...

Causal Associations Between Sleep Traits, Sleep Disorders, and Glioblastoma: A Two-Sample Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

Causal Associations Between Sleep Traits, Sleep Disorders, and Glioblastoma: A Two-Sample Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study Academic Background Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and common type of malignant brain tumor, accounting for nearly 50% of all primary brain tumors in adults. It primarily originates from astro...

Improving Glioblastoma Treatment with Imaging, Radiotherapy, Drug Delivery, and Therapeutic Systems

Improving Glioblastoma Treatment with Imaging, Radiotherapy, Drug Delivery, and Therapeutic Systems Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer, with an extremely poor prognosis and a five-year survival rate of less than 10%. Despite decades of extensive research in drug therapy, radiation therapy, ...
