Unraveling Brain Tumors - Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
July 24, 2008 (Science Daily) Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising strategy to eliminate tumors and prevents them from re-growing. The researchers have found that drugs that block new blood vessel formation can destroy the protected areas and stop cancer from developing.
