Abstract excerpt
Brain invasion by glioblastoma determines prognosis, recurrence, and lethality in patients, but no master factor coordinating the invasive properties of glioblastoma has been identified. Here we report evidence favoring such a role for the noncanonical WNT family member Wnt5a. We found the most invasive gliomas to be characterized by Wnt5a overexpression, which correlated with poor prognosis and also...
