(2017) contributes an important step forward to fill this gap. Using proteome and phospho-proteome approaches, they analyzed both primary cells from merlin deficient meningiomas and schwannomas in comparison to non-tumorous Schwann cells and meningeal cells. One of a number of proteins upregulated in both tumor cell types was PDZ and LIM do-

Neurofibromatosis, its types and treatment prospects
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors in nerve tissue. These tumors can grow in any part of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The disease gene can be passed from a parent to a child through marked autosomal dominant inheritance or it can happen due to a spontaneous mutation of a gene. A parent with neurofibromatosis has a 50% chance of passing...
متن کاملFive- Year Survival Rate of Children with Central Nervous System Tumors in Shiraz, Iran
Background: Reduced survival and impaired quality of life of the children affected by cancers is one of the most important health problems. In this study, 5-year survival of children affected with Central nervous system (CNS) tumors and its related factors were evaluated.

متن کاملGlobal Proteome and Phospho-proteome Analysis of Merlin-deficient Meningioma and Schwannoma Identifies PDLIM2 as a Novel Therapeutic Target
Loss or mutation of the tumour suppressor Merlin predisposes individuals to develop multiple nervous system tumours, including schwannomas and meningiomas, sporadically or as part of the autosomal dominant inherited condition Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). These tumours display largely low grade features but their presence can lead to significant morbidity. Surgery and radiotherapy remain the only ...

متن کاملNewest Targets for Anticonvulsant Agents: An Overview
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures influencing about 1% of the worldwide population. Despite much progress in understanding the pathogenesis of epilepsy, the molecular basis of human epilepsy still remains unclear. Common approaches for pharmacotherapy of epilepsy are still directed towards controlling the symptoms and suppression of seizures. Clinical use ...
