Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant and lethal form of astrocytoma. The GBM patient survival time of approximately 1 year necessitates the identification of novel molecular targets and more effective therapeutics. Cadherin-11, a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule and mesenchymal marker, plays a role in both normal tissue development and in cancer cell migration. The functional...
