Gliomas are highly malignant and invasive tumors with tendrils that extend far from the primary tumor site, rendering conventional therapies ineffective and leading to an invariably poor prognosis. Scientists have now identified the neurotrophin receptor p75NTR, which normally functions during development to induce neurite outgrowth and promote neuronal cell death, as an important regulator of glioma invasion.

Coelacanth Fossil Sheds Light On Fin-to-limb Evolution
A 400 million-year-old fossil of a coelacanth fin, the first finding of its kind, fills a shrinking evolutionary gap between fins and limbs.

"This ends intense debate about the primitive pattern for lobed fins, which involves the ancestry of all limbs, including our own,"said one of the scientists.
