Importantly, this study also revealed how nerve injury creates conditions permissive for optic glioma formation and identified ways to interrupt this process.
“Injury creates environmental signals that might allow a cell that’s poised to become a tumor to complete the process,” Gutmann said.
The findings are available online in Acta Neuropathologica Communications.
