On the subventricular zone origin of human glioblastoma

Lateral ventricule invasion and radiation dose to subventricular zone: Their impact to the treatment outcomes of glioblastoma

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the recurrence patterns of GBM in regard to its contact with LVs, the relation between radiation doses to subventrivular zone (SVZ). Materials and Methods: Between 2012 and 2014, 80 adult patients with GBM were included this trial. Median follow-up period was 15 months. Median tumor size was 4.5 cm (1.3-8 cm), where 58% of the patients had a tumo...

The Effect of TGF-alpha on Neurogenesis in Subventricular Zone of Rat Brain after Ischemia-Reperfusion

Introduction: Stroke is the third important reason of death in adults and an important cause of adult disability. Previous studies suggest that TGF-alpha can induce neurogenesis after stroke. Here in, we studied neurogenesis effects of the TGF-alpha on subventricular zone following ischemia-reperfusion. Male wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided into ischemia and treatment groups. After inductio...

Proliferation in the human ipsilateral subventricular zone after ischemic stroke

Relationship of glioblastoma multiforme to the subventricular zone is associated with survival.

The subventricular zone (SVZ) lines the lateral ventricles and represents the origin of neural and some cancer stem cells. Tumors contacting the SVZ may be more invasive with higher potential to recruit migratory progenitor cells. Our specific aim was to determine whether SVZ involvement in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is associated with a higher recurrence rate and shorter overall survival. M...

Neonatal subventricular zone electroporation.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) line the postnatal lateral ventricles and give rise to multiple cell types which include neurons, astrocytes, and ependymal cells. Understanding the molecular pathways responsible for NSC self-renewal, commitment, and differentiation is critical for harnessing their unique potential to repair the brain and better understand central nervous system disorders. Previous met...
