Glioblastoma stem cells: Molecular characteristics and therapeutic implications
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV astrocytoma, with a median survival of 14.6 mo. Within GBM, stem-like cells, namely glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), have the ability to self-renew, differentiate into distinct lineages within the tumor and initiate tumor xenografts in immunocompromised animal models. More importantly, GSCs utilize cell-autonomous and tumor microenvironment-mediated mechanisms to...
