摘要: Genetic alterations leading to changes in cell cycle regulation and growth factor signaling transform astrocytes into a tumor phenotype. This chapter describes four grades of astrocytic tumors, discusses how genetic lead astrocyte transformation, stresses networks contribute this transformation. Finally we discuss lines animal models pertinent the study tumors.
