Abstract excerpt

Tumorigenesis is caused by abnormal proliferation of cells that escape regulatory mechanisms. Most of the molecular events leading to the formation of tumors are still largely unknown. In this paper, experimental data supporting a causative role for cellular genes, termed oncogenes, in the formation of tumors of the nervous system are reviewed. Two types of oncogenes are described: dominant oncogenes,...
