How neural insulation can amplify epileptic seizure damage Some epileptic seizures intensify using the same learning mechanism by which practice makes perfect.

New research reveals how adaptive myelination can be exploited by seizures, worsening epilepsy. Led by Dr. Juliet Knowles, this study opens new therapy avenues, offering hope for 30% of children with epilepsy who struggle with standard treatments.

Stopping cancer cells from infiltrating nervous system Stanford Medicine scientists founded a new field of cancer biology by showing how cancer cells tap into the nervous system.

DIPG is one of the most aggressive brain tumors, particularly devastating for children. Dr. Michelle Monje is leading innovative research in cancer neuroscience to combat these brain tumors. #CancerResearch #Neurology

Imagine that malignant brain tumors are not the unbridled chaos of unchecked growth we think they are, but they are actually communicating with brain cells i... Cancer Neuroscience: How cancer cells hijack our brains

Stanford Medicine neuroscientist Michelle Monje MD, PhD, and researcher Julien Sage, PhD, found that brain tumors, including gliomas and lung cancer metastases, hijack neural circuits to fuel growth, revealing new treatment insights. #DIPG

The Genetic Clues of Early Death What if hidden genetic mutations could predict early death—even in healthy people? A Stanford study uncovers rare variants quietly shaping our lifespan.

Your DNA might be quietly shaping how long you live — and you’d never know it.

New Stanford Medicine research finds rare genetic mutations that subtly but significantly influence lifespan. loom.ly/kJt_NyQ
