Moyamoya disease is a rare condition that can cause blockage of the blood vessels in the brain and increase the risk of stroke. Learn more about this chronic disease from U-M Health’s neurologist and neurosurgeon as they explain more about how it is diagnosed and treated.

Research, led by Michigan Medicine and the University of Michigan, suggests that glioblastoma cells are poised near a “critical point” of order and disorder — meaning, the cells possess some form of large-scale coordination throughout the whole tumor that allows them to respond in practical unison to attempts to kill tumor cells, such as chemotherapy or radiation.

After an awake surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumor, a Michigan man is living “more deliberately” than ever — officiating a high school wrestling state championship and participating in research for a potential cure.

Neurointerventionalists, neurosurgeons and comprehensive critical care staff came together to provide lifesaving care

A professor that takes complex problems seriously, but also enjoys a good game.

In mice, researchers have discovered the presence of oncostreams, highly active cells connected to how brain tumors grow and invade healthy tissue.

Researchers have found a common mutation in gliomas makes them sensitive to immunotherapy. Studies of mouse models indicate a potential path toward more effective treatments for this type of cancer.
