Killing of Brain Tumor Cells by Hypoxia-Responsive Element Mediated Expression of BAX
The presence of radioresistant hypoxic cells in human brain tumors limits the overall effectiveness of conventional fractionated radiation therapy. Tumor-specific therapies that target hypoxic cells are clearly needed. We have investigated the expression

A Hypoxia-Regulated Adeno-Associated Virus Vector for Cancer-Specific Gene Therapy
The presence of hypoxic cells in human brain tumors is an important factor leading to resistance to radiation therapy. However, this physiological difference between normal tissues and tumors also provides the potential for designing cancer-specific gene

5-Aminolevulinic acid fluorescence guided resection of malignant glioma: Hong Kong experience
Summary: Background: 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) induced fluorescence is useful in guiding glioma resection. The extent of 5-ALA accumulation is beyond gadolinium contrast enhancement.1,2 Supratotal resection may be achieved, potentially granting ...

Notch Activation Is Associated with Tetraploidy and Enhanced Chromosomal Instability in Meningiomas
The Notch signaling cascade is deregulated in diverse cancer types. Specific Notch function in cancer is dependent on the cellular context, the particular homologs expressed, and cross-talk with other signaling pathways.
