  2. 1. Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Brain Tumor Development

    Author : Argyris Spyrou; Karin Forsberg Nilsson; Fredrik Johansson Swartling; Jöns Hilborn; John Couchman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioma; pediatric brain tumors; heparanase; NDST1; heparan sulfate proteoglycans; CD24; glycosaminoglycan mimetics; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Malignant brain tumors are aggressive neoplasms that remain challenging to treat in spite of their detailed molecular characterization. Both adults and children may suffer from brain tumors, which, if not lethal, can cause severe long-term and devastating side effects. READ MORE

  4. 2. lmproving diagnosis of central nervous system tumours using genetic and epigenetic tools

    Author : Thomas Olsson Bontell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Histopathology; DNA methylation profiling; DNA methylation-based classification; Diffuse lower grade-glioma; Genomic analysis; Molecular biomarkers; Pediatric glioma;

    Abstract : Brain tumor diagnostics has traditionally been based on histopathology stains. The introduction of immunohistochemistry stains resulted in improved ability to classify these often devastating tumors. The understanding of molecular markers in central nervous system tumors has improved substantially in recent decades. READ MORE

  5. 3. Deciphering microglia plasticity in glioma

    Author : Dalel Saidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microglia are the innate immune cells of the brain. One of the main characteristics of microglia is its extremely plasticity, which is necessary for them to deal with changing circumstances. Activation of microglia can contribute to contrasting effects by either proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, or tumor-supportive phenotypes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Experimental models of pediatric brain tumors. Establishment, immunophenotyping and clinical implications

    Author : Emma Sandén; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatric Brain Tumor; Experimental model; Immunotherapy; Immune monitoring; Medulloblastoma;

    Abstract : Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children. Current treatment protocols fail in 25% of patients and are associated with significant long-term adverse effects in survivors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling and investigations of high-grade glioma to understand tumorigenesis and heterogeneity

    Author : Nagaprathyusha Maturi; Lene Uhrbom; Helena Carén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioblastoma; diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma; cell of origin; heterogeneity; serum culture; glioblastoma stem cell; chromatin accessibility; cross-species conservation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. As per 2021 WHO classification, the corresponding diagnosis in children is called diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma (pHGG). In both cases tumors are histone 3 (H3) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) wildtype (wt). READ MORE
