Abstract:Current therapies for high-grade gliomas only modestly extend survival. Given that intrinsic characteristics of glioma cancer stem cells (gCSCs) make them hard to effectively target with current therapies, cells in the tumor microenvironment such as microglia/macrophages are being investigated as therapy targets. We previously identified a microglial/macrophage growth factor, Macrophage colony stimulating factor (Csf1), as a candidate glioma oncogene in a mouse somatic mutagenesis screen. CSF1 overexpression, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
