Virtually all high-grade, aggressive gliomas in adults accumulate massive amounts of a metabolite called guanidinoacetate that overstimulates nearby neurons and promotes tumor growth, according to new research from scientists at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern published on Sept. 15 in Cell.
Large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and change how the recipient cell functions, according to a study led by researchers at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern.
