Brainstem Glioma in Adults [PDF]
Brainstem gliomas are not nearly as common in adults as they are in children. They are likely the final common consequence not of a single disease process but of several. They can be difficult to diagnose, and are challenging to treat.

BMP and TGFbeta pathways in human central chondrosarcoma: enhanced endoglin and Smad 1 signaling in high grade tumors [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As major regulators of normal chondrogenesis, the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor β (TGFB) signaling pathways may be involved in the development and progression of central chondrosarcoma.

Emerging roles of telomeric chromatin alterations in cancer [PDF]
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play important and multiple roles in tumorigenesis. Functional telomeres need the establishment of a protective chromatin structure based on the interplay between the ...

International physician survey on management of FOP: a modified Delphi study
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a disabling disorder of progressive heterotopic ossification (HEO), is caused by heterozygous gain-of- function mutations in Activin receptor A, type I (ACVR1, also known as ALK2), a bone morphogenetic protein

Cannabidiol stimulates AML-1a-dependent glial differentiation and inhibits glioma stem-like cells proliferation by inducing autophagy in a TRPV2-dependent manner [PDF]
Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) correspond to a tumor cell subpopulation, involved in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor ini- tiation and acquired chemoresistance.

Therapeutic targeting of PRMT5 and mutant ACVR1 in paediatric glioma
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal paediatric brainstem tumour with a median overall survival of 9-11 months. The unique genetic, anatomical and developmental identity of the tumour means that there are currently no effective chemotherapies or targeted therapies.
