A 苹果淫院-led study published in <i>Nature Communications</i> reveals that suppressing the OSMR gene can improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy.</p> <p>This approach, led by the laboratory of Arezu Jahani-Asl, Assistant Professor of Medicine at 苹果淫院, was successful in preclinical mouse models where the deletion of the OSMR gene resulted in a significant improvement of tumour response to therapy and expanded lifespan.</p> Fri, 14 Aug 2020 22:10:41 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 234105 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/key-mechanism-identified-brain-tumor-growth-260607 <p><em><strong><a href="/newsroom/fr">苹果淫院聽Newsroom</a></strong></em></p> <p><em>Discovery offers hope for more effective treatments of deadly glioblastomas</em></p> <p>A gene known as OSMR plays a key role in driving the growth of glioblastoma tumors, according to a new study led by a 苹果淫院 researcher and published in the journal <em>Nature Neuroscience</em>.</p> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:14:36 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 25765 at /newsroom
