Why Tumor Necrosis Might Not Be Good News for Some Patients With Glioblastoma
White blood cells are part of many immune system responses in the human body. New research shows that a specific type of those cells may cause brain cancer tissues to die. A new study indicates that higher amounts of this tissue death are associated with poor survival in patients with aggressive glioblastomas.

Brainstem Neurons Are the "Missing Link" Between Stress and Infertility
Scientists suggest that a new study identifies the “missing link between stress and infertility”. The research has confirmed in laboratory testing that a population of nerve cells near the base of the brain – the RFRP neurons – become active in stressful situations and then suppress the reproductive system.
