New Brain Tumor Entities Emerge from Molecular Classification of CNS-PNETs

Dominik Sturm, +122 more
- 25 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a significant proportion of institutionally diagnosed CNS-PNETs display molecular profiles indistinguishable from those of various other well-defined CNS tumor entities, facilitating diagnosis and appropriate therapy for patients with these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurosteroids act on recombinant human GABAA receptors

TL;DR: An examination of single-channel currents recorded from outside-out patches excised from these transfected cells suggests that despite the common minimal structural requirements for expressing steroid and barbiturate actions, the mechanism of GABAA receptor modulation by these pregnane steroids may differ from that of barbiturates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activating mutations in BRAF characterize a spectrum of pediatric low-grade gliomas.

TL;DR: DNA from 27 grade I and grade II pediatric gliomas, including ganglioglioma, desmoplastic infantile gangliogsliomas, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma was analyzed using the Illumina 610K Beadchip SNP-based oligonucleotide array, finding consistent abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of an octadecaneuropeptide derived from diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI): biological activity and presence in rat brain

TL;DR: In primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells of rat, DBI, ODN, octapeptide, heptapeptid, and hexapeptides preferentially displace [3H]BCCM over [3h]flunitrazepam; moreover, these data suggest that ODN includes a specific ligand for the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor regulatory site occupied by beta-carbolines.
