Article Abstract

The Brain Tumor Segmentation–Africa dataset is the first annotated publicly available brain imaging dataset from an African population; it contains three-dimensional MRI scans, retrospectively acquired from institutions in Nigeria, in 146 adult patients with preoperative brain tumors.

Background: Meningioma en plaque (MEP) is a rare subtype of meningioma with a carpet-like growth pattern, often causing hyperostosis. Even rarer is the presentation of bilateral MEP posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Management of MEP usually entails early complete resection.

Vitamin D3 reduces the viability of cancer cells in vitro and retard the EAC tumors growth in mice.

Prior studies from our laboratory have shown that cancer cells exposed to vitamin D3 exhibited reduced proliferation in breast cancer cells due to the upregulation of p53 and downregulation of cyclin-D1. Furthermore, in mice, our group has demonstrated that administration of 125 µg/kg of vitamin D3 retarded the growth of EAC tumors. But, it is unknown whether vitamin D3 exerts similar anti-cancer effects against cell lines representing carcinomas of the liver, colon and rectum, cervix, and brain.

Innate immunity is crucial in orchestrating the brain immune response, however, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to evade innate immune surveillance, posing significant challenges for current immunotherapies. Here, a therapeutic strategy is reported that aims at reactivating innate immune responses in GBM via targeted induction of mitochondrial stress, thereby enhancing tumor immunogenicity. Specifically, innate immune-stimulating nanoparticles (INSTNA) are developed, encapsulating positively charged iridium-based complexes (Ir-mito) and small interfering RNA against Methylation-Controlled J protein (si-MCJ) to attenuate mitochondrial respiration.

The prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains dismal, despite standard treatment regimens. A key challenge in treating GBM is the persistence of glioma stem cells (GSCs) within the perivascular niche (PVN) - a protective tumor microenvironment (TME) that is often associated with inadequate drug penetration. Current preclinical models do not capture complexity of the human TME, particularly the vasculature and niche-specific interactions that drive GBM progression.
