5.7 Brain cancer A brain tumor is a mass-like structure of alive and dead cells that start to grow uncontrollably inside the brain. It is considered one of the deadliest forms of cancer across the globe that affects individuals of all age groups, including children (Muhammad, Khan, Del Ser...
Cancer stem-like cells(CSCs)with potential of self-renewal drive tumorigenesis.Brain tumor microenvironment(TME)has been identified as a critical regulator of malignancy progression.Many researchers are searching new ways to characterize tumors with the goal of predicting how they respond to treatment....

In brain tumors, Putative cancer stern cells have been identified from glioblastoma multiforme, medulloblastoma and epentlymoma. These tumor-derived cells self-renew under clonal conditions, and differentiate into neuron- and glia-like cells as well as into abnormal cells with mixed phenotypes. The ...

人类GA-MSCs、肿瘤相关间充干细胞(Tumor-associated mesenchymal stem cells,TA-MSCs)和正常组织来源MSCs均基本满足ISCT对人类MSCs的定义,但这三种MSCs的免疫表型特征差异显著,也具有不同的分化潜能,其原因还有待研究。 二、空间分布 通过免疫荧光检测,确定了GA-MSCs不仅存在于胶质瘤的中央,还存在于肿瘤边缘[9]。遗憾...
Barriers targeting Tumor microenvironment Tumor cells Systematic targeted drug delivery 1. Introduction According to the GLOBOCAN 2008, the worldwide cancer incidence of malignant brain tumors is 3.5 per 100,000 people and about 650 people are diagnosed with malignant brain tumors every day1. Brain tu...
The primary tumor microenvironment The cellular component of TME includes cancer and noncancerous cells, immune cells, mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial cells, niche cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and adipocytes that can promote tumor growth [8]. Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells th...
