A MOUSE MODEL OF HIST1H3B / ACVR1 MUTANT DIPG

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a malignant brainstem tumour arising in children representing a major unmet clinical need, with a 2-year survival rate close to zero. With chemotherapy ineffective and surgical intervention not possible, new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed based upon the unique biological mechanisms driving DIPG tumorigenesis. ...

Cellular Cybercriminals: DIPG Hacks into the Neural Communication Infrastructure

 My group has recently demonstrated the neuronal activity drives the growth of DIPG and other high-grade gliomas. One way that active neurons promote DIPG growth is through activity-regulated secretion of growth factors into the tumor microenvironment. We have now discovered an additional, surprising means of neuron:glioma communication – ...

Using zebrafish to accelerate DIPG drug development

A critical barrier to improvements in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) therapy is a lack of new drugs that have a broad therapeutic index. In DIPG, validation of new therapeutics is hampered by the long time (6 months) that most human DIPG tumors take to kill mice. This means that it ...

Advanced RNAi therapeutics for DIPG

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a form of brain tumor that arises in the brainstem of children and is nearly 100% fatal with a median survival of 9-12 months after diagnostic. The location of these highly infiltrating tumors in the ventral pons precludes surgical resection and clinical trials with different ...

Short-pulse ultrasound delivery of panobinostat for the treatment of diffuse ...

Children with diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) have a 2-year survival rate of less than 10%. Compared to other brain cancers, DIPG is particularly difficult to treat because it spreads behind an intact blood-brain barrier (BBB) affecting healthy developing paediatric brain tissue. There are currently no effective treatments for this disease. ...
