  2. 11. Brain Tumor Imaging and Treatment Effects. Imaging findings and cognitive function in glioblastoma patients

    Author : Anna Rydelius; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioblastoma; Imaging finding; Quantitative volumetry; Cognitive function; Diffusion tensor imaging DTI ; Treatment effect; Radiotherapy; VMAT; Parametric response maps PRM ; Treatment responce prediction;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor. Operation with maximal resection, if feasible, otherwise biopsy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide is standard therapy. The prognosis remains poor, with median overall survival being 15 months despite therapy. READ MORE

  4. 12. Integrative Modeling of Epigenetic Regulation in Human Disease

    Author : Xi Lu; Xingqi Chen; Chandrasekhar Kanduri; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioblastoma; Cross-species; Glioblastoma stem cell; Dravet syndrome; ATAC-seq; Single-cell multi-omics technology;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Standard of treatment prove ineffective, leading to tumor recurrence and an average survival rate of 14 months. This treatment resistance is attributed to both inter-tumor and intra-tumor heterogeneity observed across diverse tumor samples and within individual cells. READ MORE

  5. 13. Modeling and investigations of high-grade glioma to understand tumorigenesis and heterogeneity

    Author : Nagaprathyusha Maturi; Lene Uhrbom; Helena Carén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioblastoma; diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma; cell of origin; heterogeneity; serum culture; glioblastoma stem cell; chromatin accessibility; cross-species conservation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. As per 2021 WHO classification, the corresponding diagnosis in children is called diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma (pHGG). In both cases tumors are histone 3 (H3) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) wildtype (wt). READ MORE

  6. 14. Modeling glioblastoma heterogeneity to decipher its biology

    Author : Yuan Xie; Lene Uhrbom; Massimo Squatrito; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioblastoma multiforme; biobank; GBM cells; cell of origin; LGR5; OPCs;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal form of primary brain tumor that mainly affects adults. GBM displays remarkable intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity and contains a subpopulation of cells named glioma stem cells that is believed to be responsible for tumor maintenance, progression and recurrence.

  7. 15. New targeted therapies for malignant neural tumors : From systematic discovery to zebrafish models

    Author : Elin Almstedt; Sven Nelander; Rogier Versteeg; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Cancers in the neural system presents a major health challenge. The most aggressive brain tumor in adults, glioblastoma, has a median survival of 15 months and few therapeutic options. High-risk neuroblastoma, a childhood tumor originating in the sympathetic nervous system, has a 5-year survival under 50%, despite extensive therapy. READ MORE
