Astrocytomas are tumors that arise from star-shaped cells known as astrocytes. These are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Astrocytomas develop intense vascular proliferation, essential for tumour growth and invasiveness. Angiotensin II (ANGII) was initially described as a vasoconstrictor; recent studies have shown ...

In adult high-grade astrocytomas, 26.4% of tumors were similarly positive for ALT, including 80% of ATRX protein immunonegative cases (P<0.0001).

Astrocytomas are one of the most common forms of brain tumours, making up around a third of UK cases. They grow from cells called astrocytes, which protect nerves and process information.
