That’s why researchers at the University of Michigan and their collaborators are excited about discoveries that point toward a new potential treatment approach — one that significantly lengthened survival times in two mouse models of DIPG.
The team’s findings, which appear in the journal Cancer Cell, suggest that simultaneously targeting two energy-production pathways within the cancer cells could help overcome the effects of a cancer-causing mutation that is one of the hallmarks of DIPG, or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, and similar tumors.
