Genes involved in regulation of stem cell properties: studies on their expression in a small cohort of neuroblastoma patients
1 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cancer stem cells have been isolated from many tumors. Several evidences prove that neuroblastoma contains its own stem cell-like cancer cells. We chose to analyze 20 neuroblastoma tumor samples in the expression of 13 genes involved in the regulation of stem cell properties to evaluate if their misregulation could have a clinical relevance. In several specimens we detected the expression of genes belonging to...
