Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate whether the janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signal transduction pathway is present and active in meningiomas. The results of these investigations are important for all meningioma therapies that, similar to interferon-alpha-2B (IFNalpha-2B), depend on activation of this pathway for their effect. The authors were interested in evaluating the importance, if any, of the JAK/STAT pathway in the biology and therapy for these tumors.
