## Abstract To evaluate whether the chemosensitivity of primary central nervous system lymphomas to water‐soluble drugs could result from improved drug delivery, we quantitatively assessed pharmacokinetic factors in seven patients. The capillary permeability surface product was found to be signific

## Abstract Glial‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophin that could be developed as a neurotherapeutic for Parkinson's disease, stroke, and motor neuron disease. However, GDNF does not cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Human GDNF was re‐engineered by fusion of the mature GDNF prote
Background. The prognosis for young children suffering from brain tumors is, as many authors report, generally poor. The probability of late complications in young children is also high, and their quality of life is significantly worse than that of older children. This study presents the experience
## BACKGROUND. There has been a dramatic increase in the diagnosis of primary
Deletion of 17p is the most frequent abnormality observed in central nervous system (CNS) primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), implicating the presence of a tumor suppressor gene which maps to 17p. The gene for pigment epitheliumderived factor (PEDF) has been cloned and mapped to 17p13. PEDF be
