PLoS ONE 6:e17948. 2011..1%) giant cell GBM (gcGBM). The finding that BRAF V600E mutations are common in the majority of PXA has important therapeutic implications and may help in differentiating less aggressive PXAs from lethal gcGBMs and GBMs...- CRX is a diagnostic marker of retinal and pineal lineage tumorsSandro Santagata
Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America
PLoS ONE 4:e7932. 2009..To determine the biologic and diagnostic potential of CRX in human tumors of the retina and pineal, we examined its expression in multiple settings... - Using the heat-shock response to discover anticancer compounds that target protein homeostasisSandro Santagata
Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, United States
