1. Towards Novel Biomarkers for Low-grade Glioma
Abstract : Gliomas are common primary brain tumours that occur as low-grade (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Typically occurring in younger adults, LGG has an indolent course with a median survival of 5-10 years, but carries an inherent potential for transforming into HGG. READ MORE

2. Towards new tools for clinical evaluation and visualization of tumor growth in patients with glioma
Abstract : Gliomas are derived from glial cells and are the most common type of primary brain tumors in adults. Gliomas are classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) according to their malignancy grade and histological and molecular features. Malignancy grades range from I to IV. WHO grade I tumors are benign tumors, mostly occurring in childhood. READ MORE

3. Neuronal Development in the Embryonic Retina : Focus on the Characterization, Generation and Development of Horizontal Cell Subtypes
Abstract : Horizontal cells are retinal interneurons that modulate the output from photoreceptors. Two horizontal cell (HC) subtypes are commonly identified in the vertebrate retina: axon-bearing and axon-less HCs. READ MORE

Abstract : The majority of malignant brain tumors in adults are astrocytic gliomas. These are classified into four malignancy grades according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, including grade I pilocytic astrocytoma, grade II astrocytoma, grade III anaplastic astrocytoma and grade IV glioblastoma.

5. Intratumoral heterogeneity in glioblastoma: subtype transition and cell-to-cell communication
Abstract : Glioblastoma is a most aggressive brain tumor with a median overall survival of less than two years. The current treatment is surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, glioblastoma is difficult to treat and recurs some time after treatment. READ MORE
