Molecular mechanisms of glioma invasiveness: the role of proteases

Rao, Jasti S.·2003·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

The invasive nature of brain-tumour cells makes an important contribution to the ineffectiveness of current treatment modalities, as the remaining tumour cells inevitably infiltrate the surrounding normal brain tissue, which leads to tumour recurrence. Such local invasion remains an important cause of mortality and underscores the need to understand in more detail the mechanisms of tumour invasiveness. Several proteases influence the malignant characteristics of gliomas--could their inhibition prove to be a useful therapeutic strategy?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
