多倫多,2025年5月12日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——腦癌加拿大欣然向麥吉爾大學的卡爾·恩斯特博士及其團隊頒發100,000美元的兒童研究獎助金。這項研究探討一種針對兒童高級別膠質瘤(pHGG)的基因療法治療方案。pHGG是一組侵襲性強且往往致命的腦癌,診斷後的中位生存時間少於18個月。由於可用的治療選擇有限,這項研究是推進新型潛在救命療法的重要一步。

鑒於這類癌症的侵襲性,該項目“推進針對MYCN擴增的兒童高級別膠質瘤的基因療法”旨在針對目前被認為無法治療的腫瘤。這些腫瘤的特徵是關鍵基因(即腫瘤抑制基因)的失活突變,這些基因在調節細胞生長中發揮著重要作用。研究團隊正在評估一種創新的多基因療法方法,旨在同時針對幾個主要的癌症通路,目標是通過重新激活抗腫瘤機制來有效消除癌細胞。

恩斯特博士表示:“這項工作根本無法在沒有慈善支持的情況下進行。雖然政府的支持是良好的,並且對加拿大的研究提供了重要的支持,但資助機構不會資助高風險、高回報的研究,因此不會投資於可能對腦癌患者極具益處的新技術。我的團隊擁有開發膠質母細胞瘤新療法所需的工具、團隊和關鍵基礎設施。我對TI Group和Segal GCSE LLP的企業贊助商,以及Tomasz Kutasienski紀念包步行活動和Andrea Villamere紀念社區籌款活動的支持表示衷心感謝。Tomasz和Andrea是我們在努力開發治療致命腦癌的新療法過程中的靈感來源。”

為了支持這一目標,團隊開發了一系列基因療法載體(專門的載體用於傳遞治療基因),這些載體包含在某些pHGG亞組中經常缺失的腫瘤抑制基因。考慮到癌細胞通常可以繞過單一腫瘤抑制基因的缺失,研究人員正在追求一種多基因策略,同時傳遞多個腫瘤抑制基因,旨在最大程度地抑制癌細胞的生長。

為了確保特異性,治療基因已與一種在腦腫瘤中高度表達但在健康腦組織中不活躍的基因的啟動子相連接。這種針對性的策略旨在將療法的影響限制於癌細胞,同時保護健康的腦細胞。

TI Group總裁Renée Walsh表示:“TI Group自豪地支持腦癌加拿大創造一個無腦癌世界的雄心壯志。我們中的許多人都曾受到親人受此疾病影響的觸動,因此我們深刻理解對更好治療的迫切需求。在觀察腦癌意識月的同時,我們有一個強大的機會來提升這一事業並產生有意義的影響。我們對恩斯特博士及其團隊,以及Angela和她的團隊在提高意識和倡導增加研究及改善治療選擇方面的堅持不懈表示衷心感謝。”

這項公告是腦癌意識月期間宣布的六項獎助金中的一部分。腦癌加拿大致力於推進創新解決方案,為受腦癌影響的人們追求希望,並投資於急需的研究。

關於腦癌加拿大:
腦癌加拿大是一個全國性慈善機構,致力於改善受原發性惡性腦腫瘤影響的人的生活,通過資助研究、倡導有效的治療選擇和投資於神經外科技術。自2015年以來,腦癌加拿大已向全國九個機構、研究中心和醫院的25個項目撥款超過240萬美元。

這一消息不僅是對腦癌研究的支持,更是對未來治療希望的承諾。隨著科技的進步和對疾病的深入理解,這類研究無疑將為腦癌患者帶來新的希望。腦癌的治療需要持續的關注和資源投入,社會各界的支持至關重要。希望未來能有更多的企業和個人加入這一行列,共同為腦癌患者的康復而努力。

Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone traveler posed on a sunlit desert dune ridge, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with a sexy, confident, heat soaked editorial mood.

Shot and Camera
Full body shot from slightly low height, framing her on the right third, with sweeping dunes rolling into the distance on the left, using a wide cinematic lens feel that keeps the landscape vast and minimal.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim, toned build, medium height impression, sun kissed skin, and long loose hair blown by the wind. She stands barefoot on the crest, one leg forward so the hip shifts naturally, one hand resting on her upper thigh and the other lightly gripping a sheer wrap at her side, wearing a high cut desert bikini with a gauzy open sarong that shows plenty of leg and midriff without nudity, head turned over her shoulder with a subtle, knowing smile, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic.

Lighting and Environment
Harsh midday sun from high right casts crisp shadows along her body and the dune ripples, with soft sky bounce filling the shadows enough to keep detail. The sand textures, wind carved ridges, and pale blue sky remain exactly like the reference, with faint footprints and slight imperfections grounding her on the slope.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her wardrobe, keep dune shapes, lighting direction, perspective, horizon line, and white balance identical, preserving realistic body proportions and clear contact between her feet and the sand. Absolutely no added text, no painterly or toon look, no CGI plastic skin, no see through fabric on intimate areas, no warped limbs or floating feet, strictly require consistent perspective, natural film like grain, fine skin texture and sand detail, and physically correct contact shadows in the sand depressions around her feet.
