A novel CRISPR/Cas9 approach to target the EWS-FLI1 fusion ...

Ewing’s sarcoma (EWS) is a devastating pediatric cancer of bone and soft tissues where the treatments used are typically very toxic, resulting in profound morbidities. Furthermore, these intense and non-specific treatments often lead to secondary tumors later in life. Thus, a less toxic and more specific treatment is ...

Investigating the impact of radiation toxicity on immune response in ...

Abstract: Cancer is a disease caused by changes in the genes and a leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer treatment is challenging despite years of innovations and research. In advanced stage, it is largely incurable and poorer prognosis. Radiotherapy is one of the effective means of managing advanced stage ...

Targeting Glycolysis for Inhibition of Tumor Growth in Pediatric Brain ...

Pediatric brain tumors have limited responses to conventional therapeutic option and high mortality rates. Novel approaches to treat these and other forms of cancer involve targeting metabolic mechanisms of cancer cells from which they derive energy. These include aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effect; named after Otto Warburg who first ...

Interaction of Immune System with Oncolytic Measles Virus Therapy of ...

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. The Group 3 MB patients have the worst prognosis and dismal 5-year survival rate among the four distinct subtypes of MB: WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 tumors. Sadly, MB survivors face life-long debilitating neurocognitive side effects from craniospinal radiation that ...

Photodynamic therapy of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in combination with ...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brain tumor and a leading cause of pediatric brain tumor-related mortality. Even with treatment, the median survival of patients with DIPG is 9–11 months. Despite a number of clinical trials, no treatments have proven more effective than radiation therapy (RT) for ...
