Irvine, CA (AHN) – According to researchers human embryonic stem cells could help people with learning and memory deficits after radiation treatment for brain tumors. Research with rats has found that transplantation alleviates the side effects of radiotherapy. The new UC Irvine study analyzed data in treated rats and found transplanted stem cells restored learning and [...]

A new report published in the journal Cancer has some very disturbing findings . Women who received a diagnosis of cancer are seven times more likely to get divorced than men who receive a similar diagnosis. The study focused on brain cancer patients: the oncologists had noticed a disturbing trend in their practices. Most of the men who had a brain tumor got full support from their wives. But many...

Irradiated rats experience a 50% drop in cognitive function. But if the irradiated rats are transplanted with embryonic stem cells, they regain normal cognitive function within 4 months after radiation. Radiotherapy for brain tumors is limited by how well the surrounding tissue tolerates the treatment. In receiving radiation at levels needed to treat tumors, patients suffer varying degrees of learning...

Human embryonic stem cells could help people with learning and memory deficits after radiation treatment for brain tumors, suggests a new UC Irvine study. Research with rats found that transplanted stem cells restored learning and memory to normal levels four months after radiotherapy. In contrast, irradiated rats that didn't receive stem cells experienced a more than 50 percent drop in cognitive function....

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are developing a new diagnostic modality for identification of brain tumors. Using optical coherence tomography, a technique in which laser light is shined into tissue and analyzed how it scatters, the team hopes to differentiate tumors from healthy brain parenchyma, and that may help avoid risky biopsies. Although development of the technology has progressed...
