Blocking Glioblastoma-Triggered Brain Damage Could Slow the Aggressive Tumor’s Growth
According to new research conducted by a team at University College London, blocking the brain damage caused by glioblastoma could keep the patient’s brain working better for a much longer time and also slow the pace at which the tumor grows. The study used a mouse model and found that when glioblastoma tumors are in their early stage, they damage axons (parts of the nerves in the brain). When this damage occurs, according to the findings of the researchers, the brain responds to this injury to its nerve cells by first breaking down and then removing those damaged axons from…
