The Activation of the WNT Signaling Pathway Is a Hallmark in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Tumorigenesis
11 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The hallmark of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the onset of dermal or plexiform neurofibromas, mainly composed of Schwann cells. Plexiform neurofibromas can transform into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) that are resistant to therapies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The aim of this study was to identify an additional pathway in the NF1 tumorigenesis. We focused our work on Wnt signaling that...
