Abstract excerpt
The most frequent alterations found in astrocytomas are two major groups of signaling proteins: the cell cycle and the growth factor-regulated signaling pathways. The aim of our study was to detect changes in expression of the following proteins: the tumor suppressors PTEN, p53, and p21Waf1/Cip1, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, as a marker of astroglial differentiation), the phosphorylated form of protein...
