🧠 Meningioma - Feb 2026
• Tumor microenvironment challenges traditional meningioma classification
• CDKN2A/B deletions linked to worse prognosis
• KMT2C loss drives NF2-wildtype progression via ferroptosis sensitivity
• Seizure-causing meningiomas show distinct molecular features
• Progestogen use raises intracranial meningioma risk
• Y chromosome loss tied to higher tumor grades in males
Probably one of the works I am mostly proud from my team against #brain #tumor! Out now on Nature Communication bio:

Practically we predict via simple #machinelearning brain rewiring after #surgery and recovery, hopefully allowing brainsurgeons better planning to reduce aphasia and motor deficits. Moreover we investigated whether the functional signal inside oedema and other cancer tissues has a meaning.
