Genome-Wide Expression and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Electric Field Therapy on Pediatric and Adult Brain Tumors (2022)
Journal Article
Branter, J., Estevez-Cebrero, M., Diksin, M., Griffin, M., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, S., …Smith, S. (2022). Genome-Wide Expression and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Electric Field Therapy on Pediatric and Adult Brain Tumors. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(4), Article 1982. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms23041982

The lack of treatment options for high-grade brain tumors has led to searches for alternative therapeutic modalities. Electrical field therapy is one such area. The Optune™ system is an FDA-approved novel device that delivers continuous alternating e...

Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism (2021)
Journal Article
Alfardus, H., de los Angeles Estevez Cebrero, M., Rowlinson, J., Lourdusamy, A., Abdelrazig, S., Ortori, C., …Smith, S. (2021). Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 15908. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-95289-9

While specific microRNA (miRNA) signatures have been identified in glioblastoma (GBM), the intratumour heterogeneity in miRNA expression has not yet been characterised. In this study, we reveal significant alterations in miRNA expression across three... Read More about Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism.

In search of effective therapies to overcome resistance to Temozolomide in brain tumours (2019)
Journal Article
Grundy, R., Bouzinab, K., Summers, H., Zhang, J., Stevens, M. F. G., Moody, C. J., …Bradshaw, T. D. (2019). In search of effective therapies to overcome resistance to Temozolomide in brain tumours. Cancer Drug Resistance, 2(4), 1018-1031. https://doi.org/10.20517/cdr.2019.64

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and lethal brain tumour-type. The current standard of care includes Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. However, inherent and acquired resistance to TMZ thwart successful treatment. The direct repair protein me...
