Essential role of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in human glioma‐initiating cells
31 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Recent findings have demonstrated that malignant tumors, including glioblastoma multiforme, contain cancer-initiating cells (also known as cancer stem cells), which self-renew and are malignant, with features of tissue-specific stem cells. As these cells are resistant to irradiation and anti-cancer drugs, it is important to characterize them and find targeting therapies. In this study, we established two primary...
