Tissue is the Issue: Biomarkers of Prognosis and Classification in Adult Gliomas
Objective:
To explain several biomarkers used in primary adult brain tumor diagnosis and the methodologies for their application.
Data Sources:
Peer-reviewed literature.
Conclusion:
In the past few years, several biomarkers have been touted as providing reliable and objective assays of histogenesis, prognosis, and therapeutic sensitivity. A number of these markers have failed the test of time and rigorous practice applications. More recently, assays with diagnostic applications have been reported and validated from multiple laboratories using large numbers of patients in routine clinical practices.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
This article provides a reference for biomarker tests for gliomas. There is a greater need for nurses to understand the translational interface between basic science and clinical medicine to determine the applications of these biomarkers for the best interests of their patients.

Classification of Connective Tissues
Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense....
