In contrast to pilocytic astrocytomas (WHO grade I gliomas) that are circumscribed and cured by surgical resection, invasion is a hallmark of grades II–IV gliomas. Proteases play a major role in the invasion p...

PTEN methylation and expression in glioblastomas
The tumor suppressor gene PTEN on chromosome 10q23.3 regulates the Akt signaling pathway and modulates cell growth and apoptosis. The PTEN gene is mutated in 20–40% of glioblastomas. In this study, we assessed wh...

Attenuation of FGF signalling in mouse β-cells leads to diabetes
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling has been implicated in patterning, proliferation and cell differentiation in many organs, including the develo** pancreas1,2. Here we show that the FGF receptors (FGFRs...
