New research has shown a way to target drug delivery to a person's brainstem using noninvasive measures, bolstered by a novel technology: focused ultrasound.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | Washington University in St. LouisThe Zika Virus, which can cause devastating neurological damage in developing fetuses, also targets and kills brain cancer stem cells, according to researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Washington University School of Medicine.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | University Research | Washington University in St. Louis | University of California San DiegoMIT researchers have devised a new drug-delivering nanoparticle that could offer a better way to treat Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThe new ultrahigh field 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner uses a more powerful magnet to produce clearer images than standard scanners.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | University of Southern CaliforniaResearchers are making it easier, faster and safer for doctors to use an emerging procedure that uses radio-frequency waves to burn away brain tumors.
Brain Tumors | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | University of Southern CaliforniaThe human brain has a remarkable defense system that filters bacteria and chemicals. For brain tumor patients, the barrier works almost too well by blocking most chemotherapy drugs.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | University of FloridaChildren with cerebral palsy frequently undergo invasive surgeries — lengthening tendons, rotating bones, transferring muscles to new locations — in hopes of improving their physical ability to walk or move.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | University of WashingtonThe current standard of care for brain tumors includes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but recurrence is common and associated with a poor prognosis for the patient.
