The Antitumorigenic Response of Neural Precursors Depends on Subventricular Proliferation and Age

Abstract excerpt

Glioblastomas, the most aggressive primary brain tumors, occur almost exclusively in adult patients. Neural precursor cells (NPCs) are antitumorigenic in mice, as they can migrate to glioblastomas and induce tumor cell death. Here, we show that the antitumor effect of NPCs is age-dependently controlled by cell proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and that NPCs accumulating at a glioblastoma are diverted...
