Researchers have identified unique 3-dimensional features called TULIPs in the genome of posterior fossa group A (PFA) ependymoma, a difficult-to-treat brain tumor diagnosed in very young children.

An ependymoma is a rare tumor that begins in the central nervous system, which comprises the brain and spinal cord. Ependymoma cancer is anaplastic if the cancer cells grow rapidly and are unusual in ...

A study led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital assessed cognitive and communication abilities in children treated for ...

First-Line Treatment of Patients With Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Mantle-Cell Lymphoma With Bendamustine Plus Rituximab Versus R-CHOP or R-CVP: Results of the BRIGHT 5-Year Follow-Up Study ...

Do neurons play a role in brain tumor growth and development? Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine have evidence showing that, for childhood ependymomas, ...

Ependymoma cancer is a rare tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Ependymomas can develop in all age groups but are more common in children. The exact cause of these tumors is unknown. Share ...

Ringo Starr's daughter is facing a second battle with a brain tumour. Lee Starkey, 31, had successful brain surgery at an American hospital six years ago. At the time, doctors said she had an ...

A study published in Nature reveals the functional relevance of tumor-neuron interactions that regulate the growth of ependymoma brain tumors. The study, conducted by researchers at Baylor College of ...

Where do ependymomas start in children? In children, around 70 out of every 100 ependymomas (around 70%) occur in the cerebellum. This is also called the posterior fossa. About 25 out of every 100 ...

Our study of active chromatin landscapes within ependymomas identified tumour- and subgroup-specific super-enhancer-driven genes in ependymoma as potential leads for further testing. By integrating ...

Ependymoma is diagnosed using physical and neurological examinations, imaging, and other diagnostic tests. Several different healthcare providers may be involved, including neurologists and ...
