Study finds diabetes drug metformin may inhibit the expansion of specific mutant stem cells
New research shows diabetes drug could provide brain protection to children who get radiation for brain tumours
Thanks to funding from Medicine by Design, a University of Toronto scientist and her team are closer to finding a way to protect the brain from damage for children who must be treated with cranial radiation.
U of T and SickKids researchers demonstrate drug stimulation of neural stem cell repair leads to promising impact on treatment of childhood brain injury in survivors of brain cancer
Cross-species study shows that Type 2 diabetes drug metformin could change the way childhood brain injury is treated
A diabetes drug promotes brain repair — but only in females, U of T study shows
Accounting for sex differences could be key for the development of better treatments as drug shows promise for brain repair in females only
