Hijacking the brain’s blood supply, tumour discovery could aid treatment.

Dangerous brain tumours hijack the brain’s existing blood supply throughout their progression, by growing only within narrow potential spaces between and along the brain’s thousands of small blood vessels, new research shows for the first time. The findings contradict the concept that brain tumours need to grow their own blood vessels to keep themselves growing, and help explain why drugs that aim to stop growth … Continue reading Hijacking the brain’s blood supply, tumour discovery could aid treatment.
