Abstract excerpt
The dismal prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is mostly due to the high propensity of GBM tumor cells to invade. We reported an inverse relationship between GBM angiogenicity and expression of the DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), which has been extensively characterized for its role in resistance to alkylating agents used in GBM treatment. In the present study, given the...
