Abstract excerpt
Relatively little is known about the seminal genetic events that trigger the development of low-grade gliomas in children. Genetically engineered mouse models of the neurofibromatosis-1-inherited tumor predisposition syndrome have identified key intracellular growth control pathways, defined the contribution of the tumor microenvironment to glioma growth, and helped researchers understand the genetic basis for...
