The growth inhibition of remote metastases by a primary tumor is known as endogenous growth inhibition leading to tumor dormancy. Such a phenotype has not been described in primary malignant gliomas. However, although ...
The researchers pinpointed two genes whose activity is epigenetically altered in human gliomas, including one cancer-causing oncogene and one cancer-preventingtumor suppressor gene. In animal models, they showed that changes to the epigenome that activate the oncogene and silence the tumor suppressorwor...
In respect to defining predictors of survival, brain tumor neuropathology – particularly for glioblastoma - underwent a transformative shift when epigenetics were included in the tumor assessment and classification [52]. The distinction between methylated and unmethylated MGMT promoter status has long been...
Despite continued advances in surgical and medical therapies, the outcomes for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme remain dismal. Recent data suggest that progression of these brain tumors is driven by a small subpopulation of tumor cells, which are termed cancer stem cells (CSCs) because ...

Cancer stem cells (CSC) are predicted to be critical drivers of tumor progression due to their self-renewal capacity and limitless proliferative potential. An emerging area of research suggests that CSC may also support tumor progression by promoting tumor angiogenesis. To investigate how CSC contribut...
