Overview
In 2006, Yang et al demonstrated a critical neurofibroma microenvironment interaction that includes SCF-stimulated Nf1+/− mast cells potentiating Nf1+/− fibroblast functions.
Historical Perspective
- In 18th century, NF1-like cutaneous tumor syndromes appeared in the literature[1]
- In 1880s, Friedrich von Recklinghausen published seminal observations detailing cutaneous tumors comprised of both neuronal and fibroblastic tissue finally termed as neurofibroms.
- In 2006, Yang et al demonstrated a critical neurofibroma microenvironment interaction that includes SCF-stimulated Nf1+/− mast cells potentiating Nf1+/− fibroblast functions.[2]
