Researchers identify cell, genetic environment behind nerve-tissue tumors that lead to cancer

een treated by UT Southwestern physicians at Zale Lipshy University Hospital.

The researchers already have begun pre-clinical trials using mouse models to determine if some Food and Drug Administration-approved medications can create a restrictive environment. The next step is to determine whether the permissive/restrictive condition applies to humans.

If our ideas about how tumors form in neurofibromatosis hold true, we can envision strategies to prevent them, said Parada, who directs the Kent Waldrep Center for Basic Research on Nerve Growth and Regeneration.

Other UT Southwestern contributors to the research include Pritam Ghosh, a lab technician who is now a first-year medical student, and Dr. Dennis Burns, professor of pathology.
