O 6 -Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a major determinant of susceptibility to methylating carcinogens and of tumor resistance to anticancer methylating and chloroethylating drugs. The silencing of MGMT expression that occurs in 20-30% of human tumor lines is tightly linked to methylati

## Abstract Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS that is cleared from the extracellular space by a family of high‐affinity glutamate transporters. The astroglial glutamate transporter EAAT2 is thought to carry out the uptake of the vast quantity of glutamate, and dysregulat

## Abstract __ZAC__ is a paternally expressed, imprinted gene located on chromosome 6q24, within a region known to harbor a tumor suppressor gene for several types of neoplasia, including human ovarian cancer (HOC). We have failed to identify genetic mutations in the __ZAC__ gene in tumor material.
