Researchers at Stanford University discover that the absence of a particular protein halts the growth of high-grade gliomas

We have awarded the Dutch/British WINDOW Consortium a grant of £1.5 million (€1.75 million) for research into Glioblastoma

A team of researchers investigated the effect of the Zika virus on glioblastoma cells in mice, as well as in human brain tissue samples. They discovered that the virus infected and killed the cancerous cells

Communications Officer, Stephanie Layton, explores the progress of some of the exciting research Dr Darren Hargrave is currently working on.

Researchers have barcoded cancer cells to learn more about growth patterns in hopes of developing more targeted treatments.

This means that 1/2a clinical trials using the drug VBI-1901 can now begin later this year in patients with recurrent GBM. The trials will examine the safety and effectiveness of the drug

Thanks to your continued support and fundraising, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve been able to award over £3.8 million to five new exciting research initiatives across the globe

Researchers have developed ‘nanoswimmers’ that cross the blood brain barrier highly efficiently.

In a new article for Nature Communication, scientists Gelareh Zadeh and Ken Aldape explain that radiation given during childhood cancer treatments causes DNA to rearrange. This rearrangement of DNA can then lead to menigiomas.

Our 2017 Lab Experience is now open! Are you aged 16-17 and interested in lab research? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the US and the German Cancer Research Centre have discovered faulty genes underlying medulloblastoma brain tumours.

The group of researchers at UCL, funded by The Charity are led by Professor Paolo Salomoni and have discovered that cells are capable of migrating through tissues in the body

This promising technique was developed by Researchers from the University of Oxford, UK and the University of Twente, Netherlands

The annual report by Prof Dame Sally Davies says that the genomic plan should be implemented within 5 years in the NHS

The United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride as an optical imaging agent for use in people affected by high grade gliomas.

A probe that was first developed by researchers in Canada in 2015 has since been perfected by the team

A groundbreaking international centre for research into childhood brain tumours will be launched today (June 27) in London

A new study from the CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in India examined the mechanism of gene expression within brain tumours and found a lack of microRNA editing

Scientists from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore at the National University of Singapore have discovered that the protein BCL6 could potentially be used as a marker to predict the clinical outcome of patients with glioblastoma

A study conducted by Judith Schwartzbaum from the University of Ohio has found that changes in the immune systems appear to signal brain cancer 5 years before symptoms arise

Researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson have discovered an enzyme that helps brain tumours grow in nutrient-starved environments

The University of Cambridge is to begins trials using the Zika virus on glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumour. Glioblastomas affect 2,200 people in the UK each year

The most common type of malignant childhood brain cancer has been identified as seven separate conditions each needing a different treatment, new research has revealed.

The terminal illness charity is looking for applications that address its key research priorities identified by carers, health and social care professionals and people with terminal illness, and particularly, those areas that have until now received the least attention
