Could this mark a shift in how we think about cancer therapy? At least in the laboratory, evidence suggests it may be . An international research team has succeeded in deciphering a key mechanism that ...

Khaberni - A recent clinical study revealed promising results for a medication that may help slow the growth of aggressive meningioma, among the most challenging brain tumors to treat ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

In a new study, published in Cell, the research team have overcome this problem by identifying the distinct 'electrical signatures' of different neuron types in the mouse brain, using brief pulses of ...
