Knockdown of Checkpoint Kinase 1 Is Associated with the Increased Radiosensitivity of Glioblastoma Stem-Like Cells
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive brain tumor with a poor prognosis. The glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) represent a rare fraction of human glioblastoma cells with the capacity for multi-lineage differentiation, self-renewal and exact recapitulation of the original tumor.
