Cancer stem cells in gliomas: Identifying and understanding the apex cell in cancer's hierarchy
5 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Neuro-oncology research has rediscovered a complexity of nervous system cancers through the incorporation of cellular heterogeneity into tumor models with cellular subsets displaying stem-cell characteristics. Self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) can propagate tumors and yield nontumorigenic tumor bulk cells that display a more differentiated phenotype. The ability to prospectively isolate and interrogate CSCs...
