CD133+ Glioblastoma Stem-Like Cells Induce Vascular Mimicry in Vivo
1 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma is one of the most angiogenic malignancy, the neoplastic vessels of which are likely to arise by angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. An alternative mechanism of tumor vasculature is described, termed vasculogenic mimicry, by which highly aggressive tumor cells can form vessel-like structures themselves, by virtue of their high cellular plasticity. Evidence suggests that cancer stem cells acquire a...
