Abstract:Diffuse glioma is an aggressive brain cancer that is characterized by a poor prognosis and a universal resistance to therapy. The evolutionary processes behind this resistance remain unclear. Previous studies by the Glioma Longitudinal Analysis (GLASS) Consortium have indicated that therapy-induced selective pressures shape the genetic evolution of glioma in a stochastic manner. However, single cell studies have revealed that malignant glioma cells are highly plastic, and capable of changing their cell state i… 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.
