Abstract:Background: Glioblastoma is one of the most severe primary cancer types in the central nervous system. Because of genomic and epigenetic heterogeneity, GBM is infiltrative and resistant to conventional treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and molecular targeting drugs. Glioblastoma often arises from astrocytes, which can be directly converted into neurons according to our earlier work, so we hypothesize that glioblastoma cells might also be converted into non-proliferating neurons.
