STAT3 is essential for the maintenance of neurosphere‐initiating tumor cells in patients with glioblastomas: A potential for targeted therapy?
19 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma (GBM), the highest-grade form of gliomas, is the most frequent and the most aggressive. Recently, a subpopulation of cells with stem cells characteristics, commonly named "tumor-initiating stem cells" (TISCs) or "cancer stem cells" (CSCs) were identified in GBM.
