Stroke may change brain cells in ways that help gliomas grow

Study explains how stroke promotes aggressive glioma tumor growth

Researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI), Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions show in Nature Cancer that stroke promotes glioma growth and uncovered cellular and molecular mediators involved in the process, linking brain injury to malignant brain tumors.

Stroke may change brain cells in ways that help gliomas grow

Researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI), Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions report in Nature Cancer that stroke promotes glioma growth. They also identified cellular and molecular mediators involved in the process, linking brain injury to malignant brain tumors.

Stroke Remodels Tumor Microenvironment to Promote Glioma Growth

A study in mouse and human models showed how stroke promotes glioma growth by remodeling the tumor microenvironment, with the emergence of a distinct population of tumor-associated astrocytes with reduced Ca2+ activity, and enrichment of tumor-associated microglia and macrophages (TAMs).

Silent Signals: How Stroke Rewires Brain Astrocytes to Accelerate Glioma

New research shows that ischemic stroke reprograms tumor-associated astrocytes with reduced calcium signaling, which recruit macrophages and accelerate glioma invasion.
