Anti-YKL-40 antibody and ionizing irradiation synergistically inhibit tumor vascularization and malignancy in glioblastoma (Rong Shao, Brooke Bentley, Sherry Taylor, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2014)

Chemo/radiotherapies are the most common adjuvant modality treated for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) following surgery. However, the overall therapeutic benefits are still uncertain, as the mortality remains high. Elevated expression of YKL-40 in GBM was ...

Transdifferentiation of glioblastoma stem-like cells into mural cells drives vasculogenic mimicry in glioblastomas (Stephan Scully, Brooke Bentley, Sherry Taylor, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Recent evidence has shown that glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) can transdifferentiate into endothelial cells and vascular-like tumor cells. The latter pattern of vascularization indicates an alternative microvascular circulation known as vasculogenic mimicry (VM). However, it ...

Glioblastoma-derived tumor cells induce vasculogenic mimicry through Flk-1 protein activation (Brooke Bentley, Stephan Scully, Wei Yan, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Glioblastoma (GBM) is extremely aggressive and essentially incurable. Its malignancy is characterized by vigorous microvascular proliferations. Recent evidence has shown that tumor cells display the ability to drive blood-perfused vasculogenic mimicry (VM), an alternative microvascular ...

The Parkin-like human homolog of Drosophila ariadne-1 (HHARI) can induce aggresome formation in mammalian cells and is immunologically detectable in Lewy bodies (Brooke Bentley, Chul Kim, Luis Moral, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Loss of functional Parkin is responsible for the death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in human autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism. Since no cells express functional Parkin, it is unclear why other neuronal and non-neuronal populations are ...

Role of YKL-40 in the angiogenesis, radioresistance, and progression of glioblastoma (Dennis Oh, Sherry Taylor, Luis Moral, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2011)

Glioblastoma is one of the most fatal cancers, characterized by a strong vascularized phenotype. YKL-40, a secreted glycoprotein, is overexpressed in patients with glioblastomas and has potential as a novel tumor biomarker. The molecular mechanisms ...

Biopsy-Proven Rasmussen's encephalitis: seizure suppression and partial reversal of deficits with antiepileptic medications and tacrolimus (Carmel Armon, Sivakumar Natanasabapathy, Dennis Oh, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2010)

Hypothermia for epilepsia partialis continua and complex partial seizures in an adult with Rasmussen's Encephalitis (William House, Carmel Armon, Erika LaChance, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2009)

Malignant glioneuronal tumors in adults: A report of two cases with diverse morphology (Luis Moral and Sandra Camelo-Piragua) All Scholarly Works (2006)

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the central nervous system performed freehand under computed tomography guidance without stereotactic instrumentation. (Margaret Assaad, Luis Moral and Christopher Otis) All Scholarly Works (2003)

BACKGROUND: Biopsy of the central nervous system (CNS) has been reported previously using relatively large-caliber (12-17-gauge) biopsy instruments with or without stereotactic guidance. In this series, fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) were performed using a smaller ...
