MICROENVIRONMENTAL STIFFNESS ENHANCES GLIOMA CELL PROLIFERATION BY STIMULATING EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR SIGNALING.

Microenvironmental stiffness enhances glioma cell proliferation by stimulating epidermal growth factor receptor signaling.

The aggressive and rapidly lethal brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM) is associated with profound tissue stiffening and genomic lesions in key members of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway.Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that increasing microenvironmental stiffness in culture can strongly enhance glioma cell behaviors re

G-CSF administration to adult mice stimulates the proliferation of microglia but does not modify the outcome of ischemic injury

Recent evidence suggests that adult bone marrow stem cells reduce tissue damage and promote Wrap Blanket repair following CNS ischemic injury.Since granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilizes hematopoietic stem cells to the circulating compartment, here we tested whether administration of this drug modifies the outcome of a permanent oc
