Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer that often recurs and resists chemotherapy. This study found that a chemical called PGE2 causes surrounding brain cells (neurons) to become over‐excited, which makes GBM cells resistant to treatment. Researchers developed a new drug, “Compound 11,” which can cross into the brain and effectively block ...

Neuro‐Cancer Interactions Shape Glioma Intratumoral Heterogeneity
This review proposes a conceptual framework for understanding glioma intratumoral heterogeneity shaped by neuro‐cancer interactions: functional patterns and transcriptional states. Functional patterns manifest as three major neural‐like adaptations with spatial and potentially hierarchical relationships, including neurogliomal synapses, glioma networks,

RGS14 (414)-mediated prevention of an episodic memory loss: a study of molecular mechanism [PDF]
A large proportion of human populations suffer memory impairments either caused by normal aging or afflicted by diverse neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Memory enhancers and other drugs tested so far against memory loss have failed to produce

Cancer Neuroscience: Decoding Neural Circuitry in Tumor Evolution for Targeted Therapy
This review highlights the pivotal role of the nervous system in cancer progression, emphasizing how neural–tumor interactions—via synaptic signaling, neurotransmitters, and paracrine factors—reshape the tumor microenvironment. It introduces cancer neuroscience as an emerging field and proposes integrating advanced tools such as AI and optogenetics to ...

Diet transition to a high-fat diet for 3 weeks reduces brain omega-3-fatty acid levels, alters BDNF signaling and induces anxiety & depression-like behavior in adult rats [PDF]
Background: The consumption of diets high in calories and low in nutrient value is becoming increasingly common in modern society, which can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, and potentially to psychiatric disorders.
