    Summary: This volume focuses on adult craniopharyngiomas, offering various perspectives. The first part of the book provides an up-to-date overview of the pathogenesis and management of adult craniopharyngiomas, helping readers understand the pathogenesis and molecular pathways. It highlights the importance of animal models for addressing molecular keys and for developing targeted therapies. The second part deals with clinical management, detailing the latest results in the era of endoscopic surgery, including the major contribution of the extended nasal endoscopic approaches for suprasellar and retrochiasmatic tumors. The book also discusses the key aspects of these tumors and how to manage them. The last part of the book addresses the future therapies and recurrences after surgery and radiotherapy. This volume is of interest to neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, paediatricians, radiologists and oncologists.

    Modulation of myelopoiesis by chemically pure preparations of different cell wall components from gram-negative bacteria was investigated in vivo. The effects of lipid A, outer membrane lipoprotein, and murein were evaluated at several distinct stages: induction of colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in the serum, increase in the number of committed splenic precursor cells (CFU-C) forming granulocyte-macrophage colonies in vitro, and triggering into the cell cycle of noncommitted hemopoietic stem cells (CFU-S) from bone marrow. The results reveal different patterns of activity of the bacterial cell wall components (BCWC) tested. (i) In C57Bl/6 mice and C3H/Bom mice, all three preparations were potent inducers of CSA. In C3H/HeJ mice, CSA was only induced by lipoprotein and murein and not by lipid A. After injection of lipid A or lipoprotein, but not murein, the number of CFU-C in spleens of C57Bl/6 mice was increased up to 100-fold. In C3H/Bom and C3H/HeJ mice, not only murein but also lipoprotein were much less potent in this respect. (iii) In C57Bl/6 mice, both lipid A and lipoprotein, but not murein, were capable of inducing the proliferation of CFU-S, as demonstrated by a hot thymidine cytocide technique. Thus, induction of CSA and changes in the pool size of splenic CFU-C after administration of BCWC may be unrelated events. On the other hand, the increase of CFU-C might reflect the mitogenicity of BCWC for CFU-S.
