    Pre-operative neutrophil count and neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) in predicting the histological grade of paediatric brain tumours: a preliminary study

    The neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) is an established prognostic marker for renal, lung and colorectal carcinomas and has been suggested to be predictive of histological grade and outcome in adult int...

    Subtypes of oligodendroglioma defined by 1p,19q deletions, differ in the proportion of apoptotic cells but not in replication-licensed non-proliferating cells

    Oligodendrogliomas may be divided into those with deletion of chromosomes 1p and 19q (Del+), and those without (Del−). Del+ tumours show better survival and chemoresponsiveness but the reason for this differen...

    DNA replication licensing and cell cycle kinetics of oligodendroglial tumours

    The convergence point of growth-signalling pathways that control cell proliferation is the initiation of genome replication, the core of which is the assembly of pre-replicative complexes (pre-RCs), resulting ...
