This position paper highlights the need for better experimental models, but also *better access* to a *range* of different models, for brain tumour research. The most complex organ in the human body needs a multifaceted experimental approach to understand the diseases within it!

Pledges to increase brain tumour research funding in the UK have not improved outcomes, as was hoped. Our position paper opines why "Adult brain tumour research in 2024: Status, challenges and recommendations" doi.org/10.1111/nan.12979 @KarinPurshouse @allyrooney @jenkinsonmd

Just published 🥳A @UniOfHull & @GliomaGenomics collaborative study using a 'GlioModel' (brain tumour biopsies kept viable on chip)🧠👀👉pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… funded by @YorkshireBTC. Patient-derived models included thanks to @LeedsNeuroRTB. Huge congrats @AntoniaBarry18 👏

Investigating the effects of arginine methylation inhibitors on microdissected brain tumour...

Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that consists of the transfer of one or two methyl (CH3) groups to arginine residues in proteins.

We love models, but we also love finding out about all the hugely advanced technology we can apply to learn as much as possible from them! Investigation of GBM cell plasticity NEEDS single-cell multi-omics!

Microrobots in the brain Vasculature!   We use microrobots and control them wirelessly in the brain vessels (even against the flow). We are just at the beginning of this exciting field. What kind of application do you imagine? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #innovation #medtech

We used the opportunity, whilst in Liverpool at #BNOS22, to visit GlioModel member Prof Harish Poptani's amazing imaging setup for preclical glioma models. We see so much opportunity for sharing of these kinds of resources in our consortium to expedite target validation in GBM!
