Glioblastoma hope from Leeds tests
Thursday August 16th, 2018
British scientists have identified a promising chemical treatment for aggressive brain tumours,
it has been announced.
In lab tests by researchers at the University of Leeds, UK, aggressive brain tumour cells were
exposed to a chemical called KHS101. Exposure to this chemical caused the cells to self-destruct,
the researchers reported last night (15 August) in Science Translational Medicine.
It does so by cutting the energy source of tumour cells, say the team, who believe the work "represents
an important step forward in tackling glioblastoma".
