By looking at the electrical activity of tumor cells, rather than the neurons that innervate them, investigators at Baylor College of Medicine have added both basic and translational insights to the emerging field of cancer neuroscience. In their studies, which were published in Cancer Cell on Sept. 5, 2024, the researchers identified the cell of origin for IDH-mutated gliomas.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. filed an NDA with the U.S. FDA for its radiopharmaceutical glioma imaging product, TLX-101-CDx (Pixclara, 18F-floretyrosine, 18F-FET), for the characterization of progressive or recurrent glioma from treatment-related changes in both adult and pediatric patients.

In December 2020, Servier Pharmaceuticals LLC bought Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s approved acute myeloid leukemia drug, Tibsovo (ivosidenib), and the rest of its oncology business in a deal valued at up to $2 billion. Now, the U.S. FDA has approved one of those assets, with the brand name Voranigo (vorasidenib), for treating gliomas.

Fermitin family homolog 1 (FERMT1), a member of the kindlin family of focal adhesion proteins, plays a pivotal role in mediating integrin-dependent cell adhesion and signaling. Scientists at Fujian Medical University (FJMU) assessed the functional significance of FERMT1 in glioma progression and stemness.
