1. Modeling glioblastoma heterogeneity to decipher its biology
Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal form of primary brain tumor that mainly affects adults. GBM displays remarkable intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity and contains a subpopulation of cells named glioma stem cells that is believed to be responsible for tumor maintenance, progression and recurrence.

2. Cell states along oligodendrocyte development and disease
Sammanfattning : The brain, one of the most complex organs in the body, where an immense diversity of cell states emerges from simple structure, where function arises from sets of regulatory principles and pattern persist where individual cells do not. Revealing the regulatory underpinnings of the brain, from unspecified cell states to diversity, is paramount for achieving a thorough understanding of the development process and generating insight into the disease states of the brain.

3. Oligodendrocyte pathology following Traumatic Brain Injury : Experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by traffic and fall accidents, sports-related injuries and violence commonly results in life-changing disabilities. Cognitive impairments following TBI may be due to disruption of axons, stretched by the acceleration/deceleration forces of the initial impact, and their surrounding myelin in neuronal networks.

4. Cellular Origin and Development of Glioma
Sammanfattning : Gliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system believed to arise from glial cells. Invasive growth and inherent propensity for malignant progression make gliomas incurable despite extensive treatment. LÄS MER
5. Interplay Between Cell of Origin and Oncogenic Activation in Glioma
Sammanfattning : Glioma is the most frequent primary tumor of the central nervous system. By using the RCAS/tv-a mouse glioma model, we have studied mechanisms controlling glioma development and the effect of cell of origin on these processes.SOX5 was identified as a brain tumor locus in a retroviral insertional mutagenesis screen of PDGF-B induced mouse gliomas.
