WOW! Researchers at ETH Zurich have effectively suppressed the growth of Glioblastoma, the most aggressive and deadly brain cancer, in BOTH ex vivo human tissue samples AND in preclinical trials with Vortioxetine- an FDA APPROVED serotonin modulator. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Hey good job science folks ^^

Three cheers for science! Amazing news, so glad that human trials have begun.

Gotta love it when a med for one condition winds up treating something else by surprise.

The world has been so bad that following you for absolutely amazing health-related news brings me hope that one day things will get better <3

Holy shit that's amazingly cool news.

The study has been published in Nature Medicine. Yes, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Every time you post about a medical breakthrough it makes my day!! Your passion for these advancements is infectious! (Like in a good way, not in a SARS-CoV-2 way XD)

One step closer to saving muh brains lol 🧠 (I don't have brain cancer BTW)

Dang, wish Mutombo was around to have been treated for it

I am exceedingly happy to hear that! While I'm not sure if thats the one that killed my father when I was a kid, I am always VERY delighted to hear of the progress on this front! Thanks for sharing that!!
