## Abstract One event that accompanies glioma progression is the upregulation of angiogenesis. Lowβgrade gliomas are moderately vascularized tumors whereas highβgrade gliomas show prominent microvascular proliferations and areas of high vascular density. To analyze the molecular mechanisms underlyi

## Abstract Tetrandrine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, has antitumor effects against some cancers, but its effects on gliomas are unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of tetrandrine on the growth and angiogenesis of rat RTβ2 gliomas. We treated RTβ2 glioma cells with tetrandrine
Treatment of adult brain tumors, in particular glioblastoma, remains a significant clinical challenge, despite modest advances in surgical technique, radiation, and chemotherapeutics. The formation of abnormal, dysfunctional tumor vasculature and glioma cell invasion along white matter tracts are be
