Ependymoma is the third commonest childhood brain tumour. Relapse is frequent, often fatal and current therapeutic strategies are inadequate. Previous ependymoma research describes an immunosuppressive environment with T-cell exhaustion, indicating a... Read More about Epen-23.

We have previously shown immune gene phenotype variations between posterior fossa ependymoma subgroups. PFA1 tumors chronically secrete IL-6, which pushes the infiltrating myeloid cells to an immune suppressive function. In contrast, PFA2 tumors have... Read More about Epen-22.

TBIO-14. Characterisation of the arginine pathway enzymes in paediatric brain tumours to determine susceptibility to therapeutic arginine depletion (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bishop, E., Dimitrova, M., Storer, L., Grundy, R., & Dandapani, M. (2020). TBIO-14. Characterisation of the arginine pathway enzymes in paediatric brain tumours to determine susceptibility to therapeutic arginine depletion. Neuro-Oncology, 22(Issue Supplement_3), iii469. https://doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noaa222.841

INTRODUCTION
Extracellular arginine dependency (auxotrophy) is increasingly being recognised in several tumours. This is due to the inability of cancer cells to recycle or synthesise intracellular arginine through the urea cycle pathway compared to... Read More about TBIO-14.

Thioredoxin system protein expression is associated with poor clinical outcome in adult and paediatric gliomas and medulloblastomas (2020)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Yao, A., Storr, S. J., Al-Hadyan, K., Rahman, R., Smith, S., …Paine, S. (2020). Thioredoxin system protein expression is associated with poor clinical outcome in adult and paediatric gliomas and medulloblastomas.

The thioredoxin (Trx) system is an important enzyme family that regulates cellular redox homeostasis. Protein expression of Trx system family members has been assessed in various cancers and linked to various clinicopathological variables, disease pr...

NeuroImage: Clinical, 25, Article 102172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2020.102172

The imaging and subsequent accurate diagnosis of paediatric brain tumours presents a radiological challenge, with magnetic resonance imaging playing a key role in providing tumour specific imaging information. Diffusion weighted and perfusion imaging...
