Changes in Retinoblastoma Cell Adhesion Associated with Optic Nerve Invasion
29 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
In the 1970s, several human retinoblastoma cell lines were developed from cultures of primary tumors. As the human retinoblastoma cell lines were established in culture, growth properties and changes in cell adhesion were described. Those changes correlated with the ability of the human retinoblastoma cell lines to invade the optic nerve and metastasize in orthotopic xenograft studies. However, the mechanisms...
