About this Seminar

Ischemic stroke and glioma are devastating neurological disorders. Epidemiological studies have shown that patients with a prior history of stroke have an increased risk of brain tumors, including glioma. Comparative transcriptomic analyses reveal a distinct enrichment of stroke-associated gene signatures in high-grade gliomas, suggesting a potential link between these conditions. However, the mechanisms by which stroke influences glioma progression remain poorly understood. In this seminar, Dr. Ye will present her research on the cellular mechanisms through which stroke promotes glioma progression and infiltration, with a particular focus on the multifaceted roles of astrocytes.
