Genetic analysis provides insights into the cause of hydrocephalus, or 'water on the brain'
Genetic studies of children with hydrocephalus ('water on the brain') combined with mouse models indicate that in certain genetic subtypes, the condition arises due …
Tumors partially destroyed with sound don't come back
Noninvasive sound technology breaks down liver tumors in rats, kills cancer cells and spurs the immune system to prevent further spread -- an advance …
Decoding a direct dialog between the gut microbiota and the brain
Gut microbiota by-products circulate in the bloodstream, regulating host physiological processes including immunity, metabolism and brain functions. Scientists have discovered that hypothalamic neurons in …
Study explores effects of extended spaceflight on brain
Scientists from the U.S., Europe and Russia are part of a team releasing the results of a large collaborative study involving the effects of …
Researchers discover new neurodevelopmental disorder
Researchers have discovered a new neurodevelopmental disorder after uncovering its link to a tumor suppressor gene.
Study shows COVID-19's lingering impacts on the brain
Researchers have shown in detail how COVID-19 affects the central nervous system, according to a new study. The findings are the first comprehensive assessment …
Researchers offer new treatment protocol for advanced head and neck cancer
The current treatment of patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic head and neck cancer (HNC) is ineffective. Researchers have investigated and validated a potential …
Spinal fluid sampling used to track treatment response in pediatric glioma
Treatment for glioma has long relied on MRI imaging to track tumor markers and treatment response. But new findings suggest a new method could …
Youngest brain tumor patients have significantly poorer outcomes than older pediatric patients
A researcher has found, through extensive data analysis, that the youngest patients with brain tumors -- those ages birth to 3 months -- have …
New strategy reduces brain damage in Alzheimer’s and related disorders, in mice
Alzheimer's disease is the most common and best known of the tauopathies, a set of neurodegenerative brain diseases caused by toxic tangles of the …
Engineering an 'invisible cloak' for bacteria to deliver drugs to tumors
Researchers have genetically engineered a microbial encapsulation system for therapeutic bacteria that can hide them from immune systems, enabling them to reach tumors more …
Genomic profiling of pediatric cancer may expand treatment options for patients experiencing a relapse
Genomic sequencing of tumors from pediatric cancer patients experiencing a relapse enabled 107 patients to receive an appropriate matched therapy that is not the …
