📢 New in @BrJCancer reports!

A study from researchers led by Dr. Nicola Tirelli at @IITalk have shown that proneural #glioblastomas exhibit greater stemness and an increased ability to develop temozolomide resistance, while mesenchymal tumors are associated with higher CD44 expression.

As brain cells age, they often make mistakes when processing their genetic instructions. This creates #RNAPollution, which accumulates over decades, making the brain highly vulnerable to neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers at @UCSDMedSchool, the @salkinstitute, and @sbpdiscovery have received a $13M award to investigate how to reverse age-related neurodegeneration by eliminating RNA pollution in aging neurons. 🧠

Check out this new study from the lab of Dr. Dimitra Thomaidou! 👇

It shows that TET1 and LIN28A are key regulators that enhance miR-124/ISX9-driven astrocyte-to-neuron reprogramming and #NeuronalMaturation.

A team of researchers at @UCSDMedSchool, @salkinstitute, and @sbpdiscovery have been funded to investigate how to reverse age-related #neurodegeneration by eliminating what the researchers call "RNA pollution" in aging neurons.

The ultimate goal is to develop new therapies to protect against neurodegenerative diseases.
