The role of astrocytes in CNS tumours: pre-clinical models and novel imaging approaches
Brain metastasis is a significant clinical problem, yet the mechanisms governing tumour cell extravasation across the blood-brain barrier and CNS colonisation are unclear. Astrocytes are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of brain metastasis but in vitro work suggests both tumoricidal and t...
