The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell that helps young brains grow but is also capable of forming the cells ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The ...

Researchers have identified a unique stem cell in the young brain capable of maturing into multiple cell types, potentially explaining the origins of autism and glioblastoma.

12, 2024 — Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in ...

In this context, we are especially interested in finding ways to block the epigenetic programs that enable brain tumor cells to behave similarly to stem cells. Second, epigenetics is a strong driver ...

published today in Cell Stem Cell. “It’s hard to measure how a patient with GBM responds to treatment because we can’t regularly biopsy the brain, and it can be difficult to discern tumor growth from ...
