🔬 #Glioblastoma is the most common brain tumor in adults, yet treatment progress has stalled for 20 years. Dr. @AshishHShah4’s new study at Sylvester identifies ZNF638 as a key target to boost immune response and improve #immunotherapy for glioblastoma. 🙌 https://t.co/g6hw3hS7f7

New research from Sylvester scientists has found that targeting a “master regulator” protein can induce an antiviral glioblastoma response.

Congrats to @um_svilab alum @MynorMendez_ on his match at OSU! You have great leadership with @RussellLonser and fantastic faculty to train with. Great things to come ahead for you! Looking forward to watching your neurosurgical career blossom!
Honored to have the opportunity to train at one of the best neurosurgery residency programs in the country. Couldn’t have done this without the support of @AshishHShah4 and the entire @UMneurosurgery department. Excited for the next step in the journey!

LITT induces a robust immune response for GBM. Here we show ~10 year survival for IDHwt GBM after LITT for nGBM. Congrats @jaychandar5 @um_svilab for work demonstrating the local changes in the GBM TME w/ LITT and RT with inc. PD-L1 and CD8 infiltration in J. of Immunotherapy.

Thank you @SylvesterCancer and @NINDSnews for their unwavering support for our study investigating the role of HERV-K in the GBM cancer stem-cell niche. Thank you to my colleagues and mentors Avi, John Heiss and @MRGneuroonc for their support ! We’re just getting to work!
A five- to six-million-year-old retrovirus drives #glioblastoma, says Sylvester researcher @AshishHShah4, lead author of a published study on human endogenous retrovirus-K. Read more about the published study: https://t.co/Vw8qn4aOC7
