Tumor resting-state fMRI connectivity to extralesional brain is associated with cognitive performance in glioma patients by Chuh-Hyoun Na, Hans Clusmann, Martin Wiesmann, Kerstin Jütten, Verena Mainz

“…Discussion and conclusion: Intrinsic functional coupling to the rest of the brain was associated with worse cognitive performance and might relate to pathological tumor-neuron interaction on the macroscale, reflecting the invasive nature of diffusely infiltrating glioma. Deepening our understanding of FC measures at the connectomic level in the context of cancer neuroscience may aid in identifying neurophysiological correlates of cognitive impairment and in prognosticating cognitive outcome in glioma patients.…”

Induction of annexin-1 at transcriptional and post-transcriptional level in rat brain by methylprednisolone and the 21-aminosteroid U74389F by P. H. Voermans, K. G. Go, G. J. Ter Horst, M. H. J. Ruiters, E. Solito, L. Parente

“…An opposite profile was shown by the Anx-1 immunoreactivity, the protein was present in control animals as well as the steroid-pretreated animals, suggesting that here the protein was either from systemic origin, or has diffused from adjacent structures. The results indicated that Anx-1 mRNA transcription is upregulated by either steroid, and that in the untreated animals there is a resting level of Anx-1 mRNA transcription, presumably reflecting physiological influences on Anx-1 expression.…”
