Australian researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma – one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer – potentially paving the way for more effective treatments. In a new study led by Adelaide University scientists from the Centre for Cancer Biology (CCB), researchers identified a previously … Read more
NEED TO KNOW A woman, who thought she was suffering from “chronic migraines,” ended up getting diagnosed with a more serious concern: glioblastoma “Getting my diagnosis was an interesting journey,” Becca Valle tells PEOPLE Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer A woman thought she was suffering from “chronic migraines.” After seeking help, she soon … Read more
Scientists have uncovered a “hidden vulnerability” involving vitamin B in one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, which means a specialised diet could help slow tumour growth. The research team found combining a prescribed diet with steroid anti-inflammatory drugs could have an impact on glioblastoma. The project involved researchers from five European countries, … Read more
A multidisciplinary team of University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers has received a $40,000 Ride Cincinnati grant to study a delayed release preparation, or wafer, of an immunostimulatory molecule to stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) immune system after surgery to remove glioblastoma, a form of primary brain cancer. Jonathan Forbes, MD, the project’s principal … Read more
Known as a Phenotype Analyzer Chip, the diagnostic device can detect minute biological particles in a patient’s bloodstream, providing clues as to how glioblastoma is responding to treatment. It works by testing small samples of blood and identifying messenger cells known as extracellular vesicles that originate from glioblastoma tumour tissue. Developed at the University of … Read more
At the end of every day the Barrett family puts a colourful sticker on the lounge room wall. It’s a symbol they have survived another day without their precious daughter and sister Abbey who died of brain cancer 18 months ago. She was 11. Justine says that since losing Abbey the family “talk a lot … Read more
Q: How would you summarize your study for a lay audience? Our study investigated the role of astrocytes, an abundant cell type in the brain, in regulating an immune response against glioblastoma (GBM)-a highly aggressive brain cancer. We found a subset of astrocytes that limits the immune response and can be targeted with therapeutics. Q: … Read more

Iconic singer and two-time Grammy-award winner, Michael Bolton, known for timeless hits like “When a Man Loves a Woman” and “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?”, recently opened up on his battle with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Diagnosed in December 2023, the 72-year-old artist has since undergone multiple … Read more
Yale scientists have discovered a promising way to trigger immune responses against certain tumors, using a lupus-related antibody that can slip, undetected, into “cold” tumors and flip on an immune response that has been turned off by cancer. The research, published in Science Signaling on March 25, offers new findings that could help improve therapies … Read more
