Abstract
The remarkable progress achieved in the identification of potential cellular and molecular players in neural tissue repair puts us at the edge of the development of therapeutic strategies that could effectively alleviate the consequences of CNS injuries. In face of this novel hope, it appears timely to assess the data derived from research on brain repair and on brain neoplasms. The cell rearrangements initiated by injury to nervous tissues are indeed characterized by the transient reacquisition of features usually associated with cancer cells including genomic perturbations, reentrance into the cell cycle, and aberrant cell differentiation. All these changes can be viewed as intrinsic neoplastic features of neural cells reacting to tissue injuries. The existence of common features between brain cancer cells, developing neural cells of the immature and mature brain, and/or injured nervous tissues has to be acknowledged in order to develop the most appropriate therapeutic strategies.
