Altered cell behavior reason for neuroblastoma resistance

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified one of the reasons why the childhood cancer neuroblastoma becomes resistant to chemotherapy. The scientists hope the findings are significant for how future treatments should be designed. The results have been published in the journal Science Advances. Neuroblastoma is an aggressive cancer of the sympathetic nervous system, […]

Early diagnosis tool for childhood kidney disease

Early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is key to managing progression of the disease. A new technique analyzing urine extracellular vesicles (uEVs) — cell-derived nanoscale spherical structures involved in multiple biological functions — in urine samples, identifies changes in the kidneys earlier than conventional methods and can also predict renal function decline. A team […]

Researchers discover protein facilitates relapse of pediatric brain tumors

The malignant brain tumor type medulloblastoma can become resistant to therapy, which can cause relapse. Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have discovered a protein that makes tumor cells insensitive to radiation treatment. The scientists hope the results could lead to better treatments for children with the highest risk to develop relapses. Avoiding treatment Medulloblastoma […]
