Overexpression of metallothioneins, stem cell niches and field cancerization in experimental gliomagenesis Superexpresión de metalotioneínas, nichos de células madre y campos de cancerización en gliomagénesis experimental A superexpressão de metalotioneínas em células-tronco de áreas cancerígenas na gênese de glioma experimental
INTRODUCTION: stem cells may originate and perpetuate the tumor growth, but they are poorly known in gliomagenesis. Metallothioneins (MTs) are proteins involved in oncogenesis and immunopositivity, for MT may be used as a stem cell mutation marker. OBJECTIVE: to study the MT expression in the ENU ex...
