Introduction: The median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (astrocytoma grade 4) remains less than 18 months despite radical surgery, radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. Surgical implantation of chemotherapy eluting wafers into th...

EM-010, Gene expression profiling of pediatric ependymomas from the posterior fossa reveals key differences with adult ependymomas (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lourdusamy, A., Rogers, H., Rahman, R., Ward, J., & Grundy, R. (2014). EM-010, Gene expression profiling of pediatric ependymomas from the posterior fossa reveals key differences with adult ependymomas. Neuro-Oncology, 16(Suppl_1), i19

BACKGROUND: Ependymoma in children and adults show distinct pathogenesis, biology, and clinical features, it is important to elucidate the transcriptional features that distinguish pediatric ependymomas from adults arising in same anatomical region....

RHPS4 G-quadruplex ligand induces anti-proliferative effects in brain tumor cells (2014)
Journal Article
Lagah, S., Tan, I.-L., Radhakrishnan, P., Hirst, R. A., Ward, J. H., O'Callaghan, C., …Rahman, R. (2014). RHPS4 G-quadruplex ligand induces anti-proliferative effects in brain tumor cells. PLoS ONE, 9(1), Article e86187. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0086187

Background
Telomeric 3’ overhangs can fold into a four-stranded DNA structure termed G-quadruplex (G4), a formation which inhibits telomerase. As telomerase activation is crucial for telomere maintenance in most cancer cells, several classes of G4...
