Stroke may change brain cells in ways that help gliomas grow

Study explains how stroke promotes aggressive glioma tumor growth

Researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI), Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions show in Nature Cancer that stroke promotes glioma growth and uncovered cellular and molecular mediators involved in the process, linking brain injury to malignant brain tumors.

Silent Signals: How Stroke Rewires Brain Astrocytes to Accelerate Glioma

New research shows that ischemic stroke reprograms tumor-associated astrocytes with reduced calcium signaling, which recruit macrophages and accelerate glioma invasion.
