The miR-139-5p regulates proliferation of supratentorial paediatric low-grade gliomas by targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 signalling [PDF]
Paediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) are a heterogeneous group of brain tumours associated with a high overall survival: however, they are prone to recur and supratentorial lesions are difficult to resect, being associated with high percentage of disease

Pilocytic Astrocytoma Arising in Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratoma: An Unusual Neuroectodermal Malignant Transformation Occurring in Pregnant Female [PDF]
Mature cystic teratomas are usually benign, however malignant transformation occurs rarely. It is identified in only 0.17-2% of cases. Malignant cells can arise from cell of any type, but most common malignant transformation found to be squamous cell ...

Expression of P53 and Ki-67 in Different Grades of Astrocytomas [PDF]
Background: Astrocytomas are considered the most prevalent central nervous system [CNS] tumors. Diffuse astrocytomas are evaluated by a three-tiered system [II, III, and IV] according to the 2007 WHO classification. The WHO grading scheme is based on the
