O2: Towards a Living Biobank of Surgically-Relevant 3-Dimensional Glioblastoma Stem Cell Models to Evaluate Novel Therapeutics and Interrogate Intratumoural Heterogeneity
Abstract:Introduction
Glioblastoma is the most common cancer arising within the brain. Despite surgery, followed by DNA-damaging chemoradiotherapy, average survival remains between 12-15 months. Unacceptable survival rates underline the need to develop preclinical research models which recapitulate features underpinning therapeutic resistance in patients, such as intratumoural heterogeneity and treatment resistant glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) subpopulations which demonstrate elevated DNA damage respon… 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.
