40 % of all glial tumours are glioblastomas, which are brain tumours with poor prognosis. Relapses are common, because these tumours are characterized by highly infiltrative growth and no effective, optimized therapy is available.
For developing effective strategies against these highly malignant tumours, it is of great importance to identify the migration and invasion mechanisms of the tumour cells.
This work is engaged in the identification of the mechanisms of tumour cell migration in glioblastoma cells in connection with receptor tyrosin kinases of the EGF receptor family and the related signal transduction.
