Intracarotid VP-16 in malignant brain tumors.

abstract：:High-grade gliomas release excitotoxic concentrations of glutamate which contributes to their malignant phenotype. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which glutamate enhances tumor growth and invasion, we examined alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA)-mediated signaling in glio...
