Check out the new study on NF2-related schwannomatosis, sponsored by NF2 BioSolutions UK & Europe. It provides spatial mapping of immune cell environments in vestibular schwannoma. 📖 Read the full study: DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-57586-z
The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre in Manchester has secured a £700,000 grant to accelerate NF2 research, funding studies into the mechanisms of brain tumours and inflammation pathways in vestibular schwannomas and related tumours. Article here: buff.ly/TPsAMlj
