There was no evidence of angiogenesis with this diffusely invasive GBM model since vascular density identified by both structure (endothelial marker CD31 positive cells) and perfusion (luminal wall labeling with tomato lectin594) were similar in the tumor core and margin regions compared with that of the contralateral hemisphere (Fig. 2a, b). The gene discussed is PECAM1; the disease is neoplasm.
