Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Collinson et al that investigates the expression of Aquaporins (AQP's) in a range of human CNS tumors is presented. A tissue micro array was constructed using a variety of CNS tumors, which included glial tumors (grades 1 to 4), ependymomas, meningiomas, choroid plexus tumors, medulloblastomas and craniopharyngiomas. Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the expression pattern of AQP1 in these tissue specimens. Collinson et al propose that AQP1 remains a potential therapeutic target within the CNS for site-directed therapy.
