Expression of hepatocyte growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in human glioma
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has a stimulatory effect on the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which is involved in glioma invasion. In this study, to clarify the correlation between the expre...

Messenger RNA fingerprinting analysis using arbitrarily primed PCR (RAP) of genes expressed during rat C6 glioma cell differentiation
To identify differentially expressed genes involved in rat C6 glioma cell differentiation induced by cyclic AMP, we adopted mRNA fingerprinting using arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (RAP). F...

Rapid detection of proliferating potential in human brain tumors by nucleolar organizer region staining on squash preparations
Rapid detection of the proliferating potential of 37 human brain tumors was attempted using squash preparations stained by a silver colloid technique for argyrophilic protein associated with nucleolar organize...
