Overactivation of SHH signaling induces a cascade of dedifferentiation and oncogenesis in a new mouse model for choroid plexus carcinoma [PDF]
Choroid Plexus tumors constitute 10–20% of brain tumors in infancy. Among these, Choroid Plexus Carcinomas (CPC) are highly aggressive and result in poor survival. Details on tumor initiation and oncogenic events remain largely unknown, aside from a high

Report from the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation - infantile glioma and other non-embryonal central nervous system tumors: evolving molecular advances and current treatment landscape [PDF]
BackgroundBrain tumors in infants represent a rare but clinically challenging subset of pediatric central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. These tumors are biologically and clinically distinct from those in older children and adults, with a predilection ...

Paclitaxel triggers molecular and cellular changes in the choroid plexus
Paclitaxel is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for treating various solid tumors. However, resulting neuropathic pain, often a lifelong side effect of paclitaxel, can limit dosing and compromise optimal treatment.

The neural milieu of the developing choroid plexus: neural stem cells, neurons and innervation. [PDF]
The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid and plays an important role in brain homeostasis both pre and postnatally. In vitro studies have suggested that cells from adult choroid plexus have stem/progenitor cell-like properties. Our initial aim was

Moderate-to-strong expression of FGFR3 and TP53 alterations in a subpopulation of choroid plexus tumors [PDF]
Deregulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling is tightly associated with numerous human malignancies, including cancer. Indeed, FGFR inhibitors are being tested as anti-tumor drugs in clinical trials. Among gliomas, FGFR3 fusions

Aberrant E-cadherin, beta-catenin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression in canine choroid plexus tumors [PDF]
Expression of E-cadherin and beta-catenin has been widely studied in various human and canine epithelial tumors and has been correlated with dedifferentiation, invasiveness, and metastasis.

Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C deficient C57BL/6 mice develop a severe hydrocephalus [PDF]
The junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C is a widely expressed adhesion molecule regulating cell adhesion, cell polarity and inflammation. JAM-C expression and function in the central nervous system (CNS) has been poorly characterized to date.

Glomeruloid Microvascular Proliferation, Desmoplasia, and High Proliferative Index as Potential Indicators of High Grade Canine Choroid Plexus Tumors. [PDF]
Choroid plexus tumors (CPT) are intraventricular neoplasms accounting for 10% of all primary central nervous system tumors in dogs. They are frequently classified according to the human WHO classification into choroid plexus papilloma (CPP, grade I ...
