Drug resistance pathway for glioblastoma identified – Neuroscience News

Neuroscience News logo for mobile.

Resume: Researchers identified a key signaling pathway, PI3K-beta, responsible for chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma. Blocking this pathway makes tumor cells more sensitive to temozolomide, a standard chemotherapy drug. This discovery offers a potential new approach to treating glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, by overcoming drug resistance and improving patient outcomes. Key Facts: The PI3K-beta signaling … Read more

Resume: Researchers have identified the specific brain circuits in fruit flies responsible for color vision. These neurons in the optic lobe respond selectively to different hues, including those perceived by humans as violet and ultraviolet. This groundbreaking discovery provides insight into how brains transform raw sensory signals into meaningful perceptions and could help us better … Read more
