Cancer Stem Cells Are Enriched in the Side Population Cells in a Mouse Model of Glioma
15 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
The recent identification of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in multiple human cancers provides a new inroad to understanding tumorigenesis at the cellular level. CSCs are defined by their characteristics of self-renewal, multipotentiality, and tumor initiation upon transplantation. By testing for these defining characteristics, we provide evidence for the existence of CSCs in a transgenic mouse model of glioma,...
