The trial advances basic science research on the relationship between purine levels and treatment resistance to develop new treatment options for patients.
Researchers discover how a gene mutation in the cancerous tumor leads to cell cycle dysregulation and heightened sensitivity to a class of inhibitors.
Inhibition of STAT3 signaling may improve survival in those with H3.3G34R/V mutant gliomas, animal studies suggest.
In cell and mouse models, metformin suppressed tumor growth in group A posterior fossa ependymomas.
A common mutation in gliomas sensitizes them to immunotherapy, a finding which researchers believe could have broader therapeutic implications for all glioma patients.
