Retinoic acid induces polarizing activity but is unlikely to be a morphogen in the chick limb bud
RETINOIC acid is a putative morphogen in limb formation in the chick and other vertebrates1-5. In chick limb formation, it is thought that retinoic acid is released from the zone of polarizing… Expand
Cytoplasmic, but not nuclear, p16 expression may signal poor prognosis in high-grade astrocytomas
SummaryBackgroundThe negative consequences of the cytoplasmic localization of p16 in patients with high-grade astrocytomas, on their prognosis, was investigated.Methodsp16 Expression was examined in… Expand

- American Journal of Neuroradiology
- 1 January 2013
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Oligodendroglial tumors with 1p/19q LOH are known to show longer patient survival than those without 1p/19q LOH, but the reason for this clinical difference has not been… Expand
Intraoperative cortico-cortical evoked potentials for the evaluation of language function during brain tumor resection: initial experience with 13 cases.
OBJECTIVES
The objective in the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEP) monitoring for the intraoperative assessment of speech function during… Expand
Survivin subcellular localization in high-grade astrocytomas: simultaneous expression in both nucleus and cytoplasm is negative prognostic marker
ObjectiveSubcellularly localized (nuclear and/or cytoplasmic) survivin has various functions, and correlates with prognosis of malignant tumors. However, there have been no reports about the… Expand

BACKGROUND
Cerebellar glioblastomas (GBM) are rare tumors whose clinicopathological characteristics are not well understood.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Clinico-immunohistochemical findings were… Expand
