    Glioblastoma disrupts cortical network activity at multiple spatial and temporal scales

    The emergence of glioblastoma in cortical tissue initiates early and persistent neural hyperexcitability with signs ranging from mild cognitive impairment to convulsive seizures. The influence of peritumoral s...

    The Neuroscience of Glioblastoma

    While unrestrained cell growth characterizes all cancers, the attributes of the tumor microenvironment or host organ provide unique trophic factors and mechanism towards this growth. Especially for the brain, ...

    PIK3CA variants selectively initiate brain hyperactivity during gliomagenesis

    Glioblastoma is a universally lethal form of brain cancer that exhibits an array of pathophysiological phenotypes, many of which are mediated by interactions with the neuronal microenvironment1,2. Recent studies ...

    Cooperative p16 and p21 action protects female astrocytes from transformation

    Mechanisms underlying sex differences in cancer incidence are not defined but likely involve dimorphism (s) in tumor suppressor function at the cellular and organismal levels. As an example, sexual dimorphism ...

    Identification of diverse astrocyte populations and their malignant analogs

    The nature of astrocyte diversity in the adult brain has remained poorly defined. The authors identify five astrocyte subpopulations in the brain that exhibit extensive molecular and functional diversity. They...
