Journal reference: Jecrois , E.S., et al. (2021) Treatment during a developmental window prevents NF1-associated optic pathway gliomas by targeting Erk-dependent migrating glial progenitors.

DETROIT, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gilbert Family Foundation, a private nonprofit established by Jennifer and Dan Gilbert to accelerate a cure for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), today ...

A common goal of imaging in NF is to identify tumors in the nervous system, especially, in children, the presence of an optic glioma, which is a tumor of the optic pathway that occurs in 15% of ...

Abstract e22016 Background: Optic pathway gliomas (OPG) constitute 1-5% of childhood brain tumors. The presence of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is generally associated with more indolent disease.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered that an FDA-approved epilepsy drug can prevent or slow the growth of NF1-linked optic gliomas in mice, laying ...

Purpose Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) are the most common CNS tumor in neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) patients. We evaluated the long-term risk of second tumors in NF1-related OPGs after radiotherapy.
