A fatty-acid based probe for near-infrared fluorescence guided surgery of glioblastoma

Elena Goun, Pavlo Khodakivskyi

High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most common and most aggressive primary tumors of the brain. Despite recent advances in neuro-oncology survival of these tumors remains around 12-15 months. The first-line of treatment is surgical resection. However, due to ...

Elucidating and modulating regulatory pathways so as to reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment for therapeutic benefit

Agnieszka Alicja Chryplewicz

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and highly malignant form of brain cancer. New therapeutic regimens are urgently needed as GBM patients present with a minimal response to currently-approved therapies. The goal of this project is to identify new the ...

Standardized intraoperative 5-ALA photodynamic therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients: a preliminary analysis of the INDYGO clinical trial

Constantin Tuleasca

Purpose Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor. The unfavorable prognosis despite maximal therapy relates to high propensity for recurrence. Thus, overall survival (OS) is quite limited and local failure remains the fundame ...

Hyperpolarized C-13-glucose magnetic resonance highlights reduced aerobic glycolysis in vivo in infiltrative glioblastoma

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Bernard Lanz, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Jocelyne Bloch

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor type in adults. GBM is heterogeneous, with a compact core lesion surrounded by an invasive tumor front. This front is highly relevant for tumor recurrence but is generally non-detectable using standard ...

Metabolic and transcriptomic profiles of glioblastoma invasion revealed by comparisons between patients and corresponding orthotopic xenografts in mice

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Lijing Xin, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Marta Lai

The invasive behavior of glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor, is considered highly relevant for tumor recurrence. However, the invasion zone is difficult to visualize by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and is protected by the blood brain ...

In vivo detection of gamma-glutamyl-transferase up-regulation in glioma using hyperpolarized gamma-glutamyl-[1-C-13]glycine

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Glutathione (GSH) is often upregulated in cancer, where it serves to mitigate oxidative stress. gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT) is a key enzyme in GSH homeostasis, and compared to normal brain its expression is elevated in tumors, including in primary gli ...

Enhanced MR Image Classification Using Hybrid Statistical and Wavelets Features

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Classification of brain tumor is one of the most vital tasks within medical image processing. Classification of images greatly depends on the features extracted from the image, and thus, feature extraction plays a great role in the correct classification o ...

Combinatorial targeting of angiogenesis with inducers of autophagy in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme

Julie Laetitia Scotton

Malignant gliomas represent 80% of tumors developing in the central nervous system, with 50% being glioblastomas (GBM), the most aggressive form of the disease. The benefit from current therapies is very limited, the overall 5-year survival rate of patient ...

Detection and benchmarking of somatic mutations in cancer genomes using RNA-seq data

Philipp Bucher, Alexandre Coudray

To detect functional somatic mutations in tumor samples, whole-exome sequencing (WES) is often used for its reliability and relative low cost. RNA-seq, while generally used to measure gene expression, can potentially also be used for identification of soma ...

In vivo characterization of brain metabolism by 1 H MRS, 13 C MRS and 18 FDG PET reveals significant glucose oxidation of invasively growing glioma cells

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Bernard Lanz, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Marta Lai

Glioblastoma are notorious for their highly invasive growth, diffusely infiltrating adjacent brain structures that precludes complete resection, and is a major obstacle for cure. To characterize this "invisible" tumor part, we designed a high resolution mu ...

WIF1 re-expression in glioblastoma inhibits migration through attenuation of non-canonical WNT signaling by downregulating the lncRNA MALAT1

Marta Lai

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and due to the invasive nature cannot be completely removed. The WNT inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1), a secreted inhibitor of WNTs, is systematically downregulated in glioblastoma and acts as str ...
