The Brain Tumour Charity
Brain Tumour UK update us on new ways to slow the spread of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Brain Tumour UK's Senior Research Fellow Dr Quan An has been exploring how two receptors on the surface of brain tumour cells -CD155 and CD44 help glioma tumours to migrate and invade. In laboratory studies she has been able to silence the two receptors using a genetic material called siRNA.
She commented:
"If we can stop brain tumour cells from invading and spreading by using gene therapy, we can give conventional drug-radiation-based treatments a greater chance of success"!
