Article Synopsis
- Glioma is a dangerous brain tumor, and a compound called pterostilbene (PTE) has shown promise in fighting it.
- PTE helps kill glioma cells by stopping their growth, triggering cell death, and stopping them from spreading.
- This study suggests that PTE could be a new way to help patients with glioma improve their chances of survival.
