Cooperativity within and among Pten, p53, and Rb Pathways Induces High-Grade Astrocytoma in Adult Brain

TL;DR: Gene expression profiling revealed striking similarities to subclasses of human diffuse astrocytoma and selection for mutation of multiple genes within a pathway was shown by somatic amplifications of genes in the PI3K or Rb pathway in tumors in which Pten or R b deletion was an initiating event.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTor is required for hypertrophy of Pten-deficient neuronal soma in vivo.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tumor suppressor Pten is required for correct maintenance of mammalian neuronal soma size, and the contribution of mTor signaling to Pten-mediated growth regulation in the mammalian nervous system was determined.
