1 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The importance of DNA repair as a resistance mechanism in gliomas, the most aggressive form of brain tumor, is a clinically relevant topic. Recent studies show that not all cells are equally malignant in gliomas. Certain subpopulations are particularly prone to drive tumor progression and resist chemo- and radiotherapy.
