Medical Xpress / Aggressive brain tumors build protective 'sugar shield' to survive extreme stress
For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defense mechanism in aggressive brain tumors: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumor cells and protects them against a particularly destructive ...
Medical Xpress / Mice with miniature goggles reveal how different visual experiences give rise to different neural wiring
Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world—and in particular, of feedback connections, which send information from higher-level visual ...
Medical Xpress / Doctors discover a simple method to predict the risk of brain tumor recurrence
Meningioma is the most common type of brain tumor. It does not develop in the brain tissue itself, but on the inside of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain. In most cases, a meningioma is benign. However, ...
