Scientists Stop Abnormal Brain Cell Growth In Mice With Neurofibromatosis Using Experimental Tumor Drug

A drug originally developed to stop cancerous tumors may hold the potential to prevent abnormal brain cell growth and learning disabilities in some children, if they can be diagnosed early enough, a new animal study suggests. The surprising finding sets the stage for more research on how anti-tumor medication might be used to protect the developing brains of young children with the genetic disease neurofibromatosis 1 - and other diseases affecting the same cellular signaling pathway... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
