Study finds GABA-like drugs slowed glioma growth in mice
Researchers found that drugs mimicking the effects of GABAergic neurons slowed the growth of gliomas in mice, Nature reported.
A study of interactions between neurons and cancer cells found that compounds imitating the effects of GABAergic neurons slowed glioma growth in mice, according to a Nature research highlight. Gliomas are tumors of the brain and spinal cord.
The finding identifies a potential therapeutic route, but the reported work was conducted in mice and does not establish effectiveness in people.
