A Role for Homologous Recombination and Abnormal Cell-Cycle Progression in Radioresistance of Glioma-Initiating Cells
6 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common form of brain tumor with a poor prognosis and resistance to radiotherapy. Recent evidence suggests that glioma-initiating cells play a central role in radioresistance through DNA damage checkpoint activation and enhanced DNA repair. To investigate this in more detail, we compared the DNA damage response in nontumor forming neural progenitor cells (NPC) and...
