[HTML][HTML] EGFR wild-type amplification and activation promote invasion and development of glioblastoma independent of angiogenesis

KM Talasila, A Soentgerath, P Euskirchen… - Acta …, 2013 - Springer
Angiogenesis is regarded as a hallmark of cancer progression and it has been postulated
that solid tumor growth depends on angiogenesis. At present, however, it is clear that tumor …

EGFRvIII mutations can emerge as late and heterogenous events in glioblastoma development and promote angiogenesis through Src activation

E Eskilsson, GV Rosland, KM Talasila… - Neuro …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Background Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its mutant
EGFRvIII are among the most common genetic alterations in glioblastoma (GBM), the most …

[HTML][HTML] Tumour-associated glial host cells display a stem-like phenotype with a distinct gene expression profile and promote growth of GBM xenografts

…, M Johannessen, SS Mitra, HK Jacobsen, KM Talasila… - BMC cancer, 2017 - Springer
