Extent of Resection Thresholds in Molecular Subgroups of Newly Diagnosed Isocitrate Dehydrogenase–Wildtype Glioblastoma

Study on the Extent of Resection Threshold in Different Molecular Subtypes of Newly Diagnosed IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. Although surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the current standard treatment regimens, the prognosis of GBM remains poor, with a...

Targeting PRMT9-mediated arginine methylation suppresses cancer stem cell maintenance and elicits CGAS-mediated anticancer immunity

This study revolves around the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT9, revealing its important role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its potential as an anticancer target. Researchers found that PRMT9 expression levels were significantly elevated in AML stem cells and leukemic cells. Through gene editing and chemical probes, they discovered th...
