Altered Extracellular Matrix as an Alternative Risk Factor for Epileptogenicity in Brain Tumors

Altered Extracellular Matrix as an Alternative Risk Factor for Epileptogenicity in Brain Tumors

Seizures are one of the most common symptoms of brain tumors. The incidence of seizures differs among brain tumor type, grade, location and size, but paediatric-type diffuse low-grade gliomas/glioneuronal tumors are often highly epileptogenic. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is known to play a role i...
