Investigating the genomic blueprint of invasive and treatment-resistant tumor cells ...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are incurable tumours that account for nearly 10% of all pediatric brain cancers. Current therapies are ineffective and the median survival remains under a year with near 100% fatality.  Understanding how DIPG tumour cells evolve to withstand selective pressures and become incurable entities is key ...

Targeting the thioredoxin system as a novel strategy for DIPG

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most aggressive of all childhood brain cancers. Radiotherapy treatment is palliative, and chemotherapy is ineffective. We have found that both DIPG cells and DIPG animal models are exquisitely sensitive to auranofin. Auranofin is a gold containing anti-inflammatory compound previously used to treat rheumatoid ...

Exploring Combination Therapy for DIPG: SGI-110 and GAA Vaccine

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are some of the deadliest childhood brain tumors. The immune system protects the body by recognizing targets on harmful cells, but tumor cells can “switch off” the targets and hide from the immune system. We have been using a vaccine that can target ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection in brain cancer children: clinical characteristics and transmission ...

As at end of May 2020, Italy is one of the country’s most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, with ~230k cases and ~34k deaths attributed to the virus. The Milan area, being one of the epicenters of the Italian epidemic, is experiencing significant pressure on its health system, impacting the ...

Repurposing antimalarial drugs for DIPG therapy

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are rare but highly aggressive brain tumors found in the pons, an area of the brainstem that controls many of the body’s most vital functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate. Despite DIPG being the leading cause of pediatric death by ...
