A hypoxic niche regulates glioblastoma stem cells through hypoxia inducible factor 2α
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Glioma growth and progression depend on a specialized subpopulation of tumour cells, termed tumour stem cells. Thus, tumour stem cells represent a critical therapeutic target, but the molecular mechanisms that regulate them are poorly understood. Hypoxia plays a key role in tumour progression and in this study we provide evidence that the hypoxic tumour microenvironment also controls tumour stem cells. We define...
