Nuclear receptor NR5A2 as a therapeutic target for pediatric ...

Brain tumors are the predominant cause of cancer-associated deaths in children. For example, pediatric diffuse high-grade gliomas carry an extremely unfavourable prognosis with 70–90% of patients dying within 2 years of their initial diagnosis. Unfortunately, treatment for pediatric brain tumors has not radically changed over the past three decades. These ...

Exploring the brain-gut-microbiota axis to characterize and predict outcome in ...

Abstract Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), represent a group of malignancies with rapid onset of devastating neurologic symptoms associated with the local extension, poor response to adjuvant therapy and a very poor prognosis. Radiotherapy has remained the only modality of treatment with proven transient symptomatic improvement and represents the mainstay ...

Enhancing response to radiation therapy by increasing tumor oxygenation in ...

The survival time for patients with pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) remains devastatingly short, in large part because pHGG tumors become resistant to radiation, the only available therapy with confirmed efficacy. This radioresistance is triggered by regions of hypoxia (low oxygen) that develop within the tumor as it grows. We found ...

Modulating the DIPG microenvironment with virus and complement inhibitors as ...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is one of the most formidable challenges faced by pediatric oncologists. For the last 30 years, all treatment approaches for these type of tumors have failed, leaving a terrible prospect of survival at 5 years for these children virtually of zero. Thus, it is clear that new ...

Targeting a novel mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in Neuroblastoma

Mitochondria are subcellular, double-membrane organelles. From a functional point of view they can be considered as hubs where cellular energy metabolism and cell death signalling converge and are finely regulated. Functional mitochondria are essential for cancer cells. Many of the agents with anti-cancer activity that act on Mitochondria (Mi), hold ...
