Widely-available Drug May Benefit Glioblastoma Treatment
Based on data from NBTS’s Defeat GBM Research Collaborative and with support from the Sharpe family, Dr. Paul Mischel (Stanford University) and his laboratory team found that the antidepressant drug, fluoxetine (common brand name: Prozac), potently targets tumor metabolism and inhibits epidermal growth factor (EGFR) signaling, triggering the killing of glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Dr. Mischel’s […]
Sights & Sounds: Glioblastoma Awareness Day (#GBMDay) 2020

Glioblastoma Models Get Boost From Cutting-Edge Tech
Laboratory models are the backbone of cancer research and the development of new medicines. Researchers use models to study the biology of tumors like glioblastoma (GBM), as well as for testing the potential safety and effectiveness of drugs in different tumor types. While today’s models for glioblastoma research are the best tools scientists have to […]
