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) ...

Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 (AEG-1), also known as Metadherin (MTDH), has emerged as a pivotal oncogene implicated in tumour growth, metastasis and treatment resistance. Its overexpression is frequently ...

This type of brain tumor can range from slow-growing to highly aggressive forms. Learn how astrocytomas are diagnosed and treated and what factors influence a person’s outlook and recovery.

A large-scale international study, led by researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv ...

Astrocytes are found throughout the brain. Each astrocyte is in contact with several neurons and more than 100'000 synapses. A new study shows that, at the microscopic level, dozens of synapses from ...

Glioblastoma remains one of the most challenging solid tumors to treat due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

A study appearing in Nature 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.
