Abstract excerpt
Various growth factors and basement membrane proteins have been implicated in the pathobiology of astrocytomas. The goal of this study was to determine the relative contribution of these two factors in modulating the phenotype of U-373 MG glioblastoma cells as determined by the expression of the...
