A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF PECULIAR PROPERTIES OF NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 1
Having made a literature review, the writers of the article analyze the data of native and foreign researchers on the study of neurofibromatosis type 1.

Reduced expression of neurofibromin in human meningiomas [PDF]
Meningiomas are common, mostly benign, tumours arising from leptomeningeal cells of the meninges, which frequently contain mutations in the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) gene. In this study, we analysed a protein product of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene, neurofibromin, in human established leptomeningeal cells LTAg2B, in 17 sporadic ...

Structural Insights into the SPRED1-Neurofibromin-KRAS Complex and Disruption of SPRED1-Neurofibromin Interaction by Oncogenic EGFR [PDF]
Sprouty-related, EVH1 domain-containing (SPRED) proteins negatively regulate RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling following growth factor stimulation. This inhibition of RAS is thought to occur primarily through SPRED1 binding and recruitment of neurofibromin, a RasGAP, to the plasma membrane.

Neurofibromin as a regulator of melanocyte development and differentiation [PDF]
Patients with the genetic disease type I neurofibromatosis (NF1) exhibit characteristic pigmentary lesions associated with loss of a single allele of NF1, encoding the 260 kDa protein neurofibromin. To understand the basis for these pigmentary problems, the properties of melanocytes haploinsufficient for the murine gene Nf1 were studied using Nf1 ...

Summary: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a dominant genetic disorder manifesting, in part, as cognitive defects. Previous study indicated that neurofibromin (NF1 protein) interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP)/P97 to control dendritic spine ...

Mouse Models of Neurofibromatosis 1 and 2
The neurofibromatoses represent two of the most common inherited tumor predisposition syndromes affecting the nervous system. Individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) are prone to the development of astrocytomas and peripheral nerve sheath tumors ...

Mutational spectrum of NF1 gene in 24 unrelated Egyptian families with neurofibromatosis type 1
Background Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1; OMIM# 162200) is a common autosomal dominant genetic disease [incidence: ~1:3500]. In 95% of cases, clinical diagnosis of the disease is based on the presence of at least two of the seven National Institute of Health ...

Mitotic spindles are highly organized, microtubule (MT)-based, transient structures that serve the fundamental function of unerring chromosome segregation during cell division and thus of genomic stability during tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis ...

Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common
