Possible Future Issues in the Treatment of Glioblastomas: Special Emphasis on Cell Migration and the Resistance of Migrating Glioblastoma Cells to Apoptosis
30 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The present review aims to emphasize that malignant gliomas are characterized by the diffuse invasion of distant brain tissue by a myriad of single migrating cells that exhibit decreased levels of apoptosis (programmed cell death type I), thus a resistance to cytotoxic insult. METHODS: The present review surveys the molecular mechanisms of migration in malignant gliomas and potential issues arising from...
