Recent Advances in the Diagnosis and Pathogenesis of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1)-associated Peripheral Nervous System Neoplasms [PDF]
Adv Anat Pathol, 2018 The diagnosis of a neurofibroma or a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) often raises the question of whether the patient has the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) as well as how this will impact the patient’s outcome, what their risk is for developing additional neoplasms and whether treatment options differ for NF1 ...

Immunolocalization of Laminin in Neoplasms of the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems [PDF]
Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1985 Laminin is a basement membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in vitro by immature and neoplastic astrocytes. The expression of laminin in vivo was examined immunohistochemically in normal adult brain and 90 neoplasms of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Genetically engineered mouse models shed new light on the pathogenesis of neurofibromatosis type I-related neoplasms of the peripheral nervous system [PDF]
Brain Research Bulletin, 2011 Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), the most common genetic disorder affecting the human nervous system, is characterized by the development of multiple benign Schwann cell tumors in skin and large peripheral nerves. These neoplasms, which are termed dermal and plexiform neurofibromas respectively, have distinct clinical courses; of particular note ...

Immunohistochemical Study of Ki-67 Labelling Index in Neoplasms of Central Nervous System [PDF]
National Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2022 Introduction: The central nervous system tumours show a varied histopathological spectrum. The cell proliferation index may provide an objective method for assessing tumour biology. The Ki-67 is considered to be the most reliable proliferative marker
