Abstract:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor that contains cancer stem cells that are bestowed with tumor initiating and treatment resistant properties. Patient-derived glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) that resemble the clinically relevant MES subtype harbor more aggressive and therapy resistant properties. Here we report that exposure of GSCs to ionizing radiation (IR) provokes inter-cellular signals from therapy-induced senescent non-stem cancer cells to stimulate compensatory growth in cancer stem cells resultin… Show more
