SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Scientists find a weak spot in one of the deadliest brain cancers
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260903064242.htm
Researchers may have found a new way to weaken glioblastoma’s defenses against treatment. Blocking a protein called SET prevented tumors from forming in preclinical models, while targeting related proteins made cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation. The strategy works by restoring activity of PP2A, an enzyme that glioblastoma cells appear to suppress. Human testing will be needed to determine whether the approach is safe and effective.

Combining CT-Based Online Adaptive #Radiotherapy with Offline MR Guidance: The Modular Adaptive Radiotherapy System (MARS) by Dr. Fabian Weykamp, et al. (DKFZ, Heidelberg; University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany).
Learn more about the concept of a modular adaptive radiotherapy system, where additional sophisticated imaging modalities (such as a 3T #MRI) are integrated to enhance the possibilities of oART at https://marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/a9d0b123b32272fe/81f3971a763a/siemens-healthineers_Weykamp_MARS_ESTRO_2024.pdf

Biologically Targeted Radiation Therapy (BiRT): From Concept to Clinical Translation by
Annette Haworth, et al. (University of Sydney, Australia)Cancers are well known for biological heterogeneity.
BiRT uses knowledge of spatially heterogenous biological characteristics of tumors and their predicted response to treatment to prescribe a heterogeneous dose through the tumor volume.
