Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between glioblastoma (GBM) tumors and key neurogenic areas in the brain (SVZ and SGZ) to understand their impact on patient survival outcomes.
- Using advanced segmentation techniques, researchers analyzed data from 177 GBM patients and found that tumor proximity to the SVZ negatively correlated with survival, establishing a critical distance of 14 mm.
- Unlike previous studies, this research did not find significant relationships between SVZ contact and factors like tumor multifocality or MGMT promotor methylation, suggesting the need for more objective assessments in future GBM studies.
Tumor heterogeneity is considered to be a hallmark of glioblastoma (GBM). Only more recently, it has become apparent that GBM is not only heterogeneous between patients (intertumoral heterogeneity) but more importantly, also within individual patients (intratumoral heterogeneity). In this study, we focused on assessing intratumoral heterogeneity.

Taking into account the degree of exploitation and missing information on the population structure of torpedo scad stocks it is crucial to provide population data. The analysis included individuals obtained in 2012 and 2013 from local markets in Madagascar, Tanzania, Vietnam and Cambodia and after successful DNA extraction fragment of the nuclear rhodopsin gene (RH1) and 9 microsatellite regions (SSRs) were amplified and analysed.
