Targeting Radiation-Induced Glioma-Initiating Cells in Patient-Derived Glioblastoma

Anjelica M. Cardenas, Sabrina Sutlief, Frank Pajonk

This study identifies selumetinib as a compound that prevents radiation-induced conversion of non-tumor-initiating cells to glioma-initiating cells in glioblastoma.

Design and Biological Activity of a Novel Brain Penetrant Urea Compound Against Glioblastoma

Ling He, Xiaohong Chen, Hui Ding…·Frank Pajonk

The paper develops a novel urea-based compound, MXC-017, that crosses the blood-brain barrier, targets glioma stem cells, and improves survival in GBM models when combined with radiation.
