Researchers at King s College London Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, & Neuroscience, in collaboration with King s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, have found small clusters of cells in the brain that identify locations where tumours could become malignant.
The study, which has been published in
Neuro-Oncology Advances today, analysed pieces of living human brain tissue from 20 people undergoing brain tumour surgery at King s College Hospital, the largest neuro-oncology centre in Europe. The researchers found groups of tumour cells clustered around blood vessels and believe that these sites could be the seedbeds for malignant progression, the process by which a tumour becomes a fast growing and uncontrolled cancer.

UNSW alumnus Prof. Goadsby is one of four neuroscientists to be awarded the 2021 Brain Prize, the world’s most prestigious award for brain research.
The Brain Prize is awarded each year by the Lundbeck Foundation, one of the largest commercial foundations in Denmark. The award is worth $2 million and is given to one or more neuroscientists who have had a groundbreaking impact in the field.
“It is an enormous privilege to receive the Brain Prize; really a prize for all the people who have suffered for so long with headache disorders, and for all the excellent scientists who have made an important contribution to this field,” Prof. Goadsby said.
