Researchers identify novel molecular pathway that suppresses the spread of glioblastoma

UT Southwestern researchers have identified molecular pathways responsible for the spread of glioblastoma to the surrounding tissue in the brain, as well as drugs that restrain the growth of tumors in animal models. The findings, published in Nature Cell Biology, have caused clinical trials that can offer new hopes to patients with Glioblastoma, the most common form of brain cancer in adults who kill hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year. “Invasive property Glioblastoma may be the most formidable barrier for treatment,” said Amyn Habib, M.D., Associate Professor of Neurology, members of The Brain Institute from Harold C.
