Human Neural Stem Cells Target Experimental Intracranial Medulloblastoma and Deliver a Therapeutic Gene Leading to Tumor Regression
15 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Medulloblastoma, a malignant pediatric brain tumor, is incurable in about one third of patients despite multimodal treatments. In addition, current therapies can lead to long-term disabilities. Based on studies of the extensive tropism of neural stem cells (NSC) toward malignant gliomas and the secretion of growth factors common to glioma and medulloblastoma, we hypothesized that NSCs could target...
