Study reveals the LDLR pathway as a ubiquitous metabolic vulnerability in high grade gliomas

New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread, and also cause other disruptions to their adapted existence, even killing themselves.

Evaluating how bacterial therapeutics may synergize with existing anti-cancer therapies

It may come as a surprise, but bacteria love to grow inside tumors. It's the environment - tumors are typically acidic, have low amounts of oxygen, and are filled with dead cells, which all facilitate bacterial growth.
