A newly discovered communication pathway linking far-flung nerve centers within the brain and skull, and the body beyond, could provide a new target to stop migraine pain in its tracks. Researchers have long tried to pinpoint where migraines begin in the brain, and how these one-sided, nauseating headaches induce pain...

A New Pathway Found in The Brain Could Help Spell The End of Migraines

Brain cancer is rare. Some forms are particularly uncommon, including choroid plexus tumors, pineal tumors, and hemangiomas. Brain cancers occur when an atypical group of cells in the brain uncontrollably grow and multiply. There are several different types of brain cancer. Some are extremely rare. This article lists and explains...

Rare brain cancers: What to know

No one really knows the cause of migraine, but a number of studies have begun to piece together the mechanisms behind these headaches from hell. There's evidence that short strings of amino acids called calcitonin gene-related peptides (CGRP) could be the evil puppeteers behind painful migraine attacks, with treatments targeting CGRP already on the market. There are also signs that malfunctioning fluid drainage systems in the brain might sometimes involved.

Researchers at Phoenix’s Barrow Neurological Institute and the University of Pittsburgh have created a vast interactive atlas that may eventually help doctors use precision medicine to target treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients – and could replace the existing uniform treatment model. The study was published this week by Cell Press.

Researchers say new atlas may revolutionize traumatic brain injury treatment

Scientists identified a set of microproteins that are exclusively produced in liver tumors. This makes them a clear target for immune system cells and a potential target for cancer vaccine development. A study has identified a group of small molecules exclusive to liver tumors that could be key to developing...

A restricted diet could help the immune system tackle  cancer. In a new study in mice, fasting was shown to effectively reprogram the metabolism of specific white cells tasked with killing tumors.



					
			

An international team of experts led by researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York looked at white blood cells called natural killer cells (or NK cells) in the animals.
The immune system uses these cells to take on threats to the body, including cancer and  viruses. Unlike antigen-seeking T cells, NK cells are able to destroy threats they haven't encountered before. The more the...

Does herpes virus human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) cause glioblastoma (GBM)? This is the aggressive, incurable brain cancer that Senator John McCain died from in 2018 and Senator Ted Kennedy almost a decade earlier in 2009. There is reportedly a link, but not yet confirmed as an official cause, however a study out of France, published in March, has made a mark in further analyzing the potential cancer-causing virus.

A mother of two experiencing bloating and blood in her stool was told her worrisome symptoms could be a vitamin D deficiency or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, a colonoscopy revealed she had stage 4 bowel (colorectal) cancer. Treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery, helped her reach remission.

Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare genetic condition affecting different parts of the body, such as the liver, kidneys, and heart. Lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery can help manage the condition. ALGS affects a person’s bile ducts. The liver secretes bile and bile ducts carry it from the liver to...

A new study shows that about two percent of the population develop autoantibodies against type 1 interferons, mostly later in life. This makes individuals more susceptible to viral diseases like COVID-19. The study, conducted by UZH researchers together with a USZ team, is based on an analysis of a large collection of historical blood samples.
