Researchers have identified a way to bypass the defenses of glioblastoma, one of the most resilient brain cancers, by blocking a specific protein and restoring a natural tumor-suppressing enzyme. In preclinical models, this breakthrough prevented new tumors from forming and rendered existing cancer cells significantly more sensitive to radiation therapy.
