How does #stemcell exhaustion accelerate #aging and is there a way to slow it down? The short answer is a qualified yes. Blogger Ellie Kroeger discusses promising research but says more testing in humans is needed. Read her post to learn more https://t.co/p6LWTrGSfd

[Donnelly Centre @DonnellyCentre]

Glioblastoma is the deadliest form of brain cancer, and there is a high demand to understand the biology of the signalling involved in the disease.

The Stagljar Lab in the Donnelly Centre has found a new potential therapeutic target for glioblastoma:
