Relationship between brain tumors and intracranial aneurysms: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of evidence to affirm that the existence of brain neoplasm plays a role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, there is insufficient evidence to confirm a greater prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in individuals with brain tumors. The association of these two disorders does not appear to worsen patient outcome. Prognosis depends on tumor pathology for malignant cases and on subarachnoid hemorrhage in patients with ruptured aneurysms.PMID:38650567 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43614-23.4 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Non-Detection of HCMV Total Genomic DNA in Human Glioma Cells Genome
CONCLUSION: We found that the genomic DNA of all the samples was negative for HCMV genomic DNA. Thus, HCMV could not be detected in human glioma tumors and we put forward that HCMV genomic DNA was not incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells. Thus, total viral DNA is not involved in the pathogenesis of glioma; however, small viral particles or specific genes might be incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells, leading to cancer development. This prompts further studies for verification.PMID:38650560 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.42717-22.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Molecular biology and novel therapeutics for IDH mutant gliomas: The new era of IDH inhibitors
Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer. 2024 Apr 21:189102. doi: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2024.189102. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGliomas with Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation represent a discrete category of primary brain tumors with distinct and unique characteristics, behaviors, and clinical disease outcomes. IDH mutations lead to aberrant high-level production of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG), which act as a competitive inhibitor of enzymes regulating epigenetics, signaling pathways, metabolism, and various other processes. This review summarizes the significance of IDH mutations, resulting upregulation of ...
