Abstract excerpt
The serine/threonine kinase Raf-1 is involved in the regulation of tumor cell survival, proliferation and metastasis formation, and has therefore emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. In addition, Raf-1 activity mediates proliferation of endothelial cells thereby promoting angiogenesis and invasive growth of various tumors, including highly vascularized malignant glioblastoma. The aim of this study...
