The mixed-metal supramolecular complex, [(Phphen)Ru(dpp)PtCl], displays significant DNA modification, cell growth inhibition, and toxicity towards F98 malignant glioma cells following visible light irradiation. The design of this complex affords superior cellular uptake and antiproliferative activity compared to the classic chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin.

Background: Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and their exosomes (exos) are involved in shaping the immune microenvironment, which is important for tumor invasion and recurrence. However, studies involving GSC-derived exosomal circular RNAs (GDE-circRNAs) in regulating tumor microenvironment (TME) remain unknown. Here, we comprehensively evaluated the significance of a novel immune-related GDE-circRNA in glioma microenvironment.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is described as a group of highly malignant primary brain tumors and stands as one of the most lethal malignancies. The genetic and cellular characteristics of GBM have been a focal point of ongoing research, revealing that it is a group of heterogeneous diseases with variations in RNA expression, DNA methylation, or cellular composition. Despite the wealth of molecular data available, the lack of transferable pre-clinic models has limited the application of this information to disease classification rather than treatment stratification.

It is critical to appreciate the role of the tumour-associated microenvironment (TME) in developing strategies for the effective therapy of cancer, as it is an important factor that determines the evolution and treatment response of tumours. This work combines machine learning and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to explore the glioma tumour microenvironment's TME. With the help of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Mendelian randomization (MR), we found genetic variants associated with TME elements that affect cancer and cardiovascular disease outcomes.

Background: The intestinal microbiota regulates normal brain physiology and the pathogenesis of several neurological disorders. While prior studies suggested that this regulation operates through immune cells, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Leveraging two well characterized murine models of low-grade glioma (LGG) occurring in the setting of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome, we sought to determine the impact of the gut microbiome on optic glioma progression.

Among alternative splicing events affecting extracellular protein domains, the most pervasive alteration was the skipping of ≤30 nucleotide-long microexons. Several of these skipped microexons mapped to L1-IgCAM family members, such as .
