Sustained Activation of mTOR Pathway in Embryonic Neural Stem Cells Leads to Development of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-Associated Lesions

TL;DR: Removing Tsc1 in Emx1-expressing embryonic telencephalic neural stem cells (NSCs) and finding that mutant mice faithfully recapitulated TSC neuropathological lesions found that finely tuned mTOR activation in embryonic NSCs may be critical to prevent development of TSC-associated brain lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Expression Identifies Functionally and Molecularly Distinct Tumor-Initiating Cells in Human Glioblastoma Multiforme and Is Required for Gliomagenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that multiple GBM cell subpopulations could be purified from the specimens of patients with GBM and from cancer stem cell (CSC) lines based on the expression of EGFR and of other putative CSC markers, suggesting that EGFR plays a fundamental role in gliomagenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pinus nigra and Pinus pinaster needles as passive samplers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: Nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were analysed in pine needles of different ages collected from two species, Pinus nigra and Pinus pinaster, in seven sites located along a transect from a suburban to a rural area of Genoa (Italy).
