One of the main features possessed by glioma stem cells is the self-renewal which is considered to be responsible for aggressiveness, invasiveness, recurrence, and resistance to therapy [66,67]. Glioma stem cells are under the control of different signaling systems, genetic and epigenetic modificati...
There are limitations when applying this approach to risk prediction because of the need to incor- porate the complexities of genetic testing and especially the dimension of time.25 To detect genetic variants that confer an increased risk of developing the phenotype during a defined time period ...
Moreover, because it covers the body, the skin is often where serious systematic illnesses – immune system disorders, genetic abnormalities, infectious diseases, malignant tumors – are most immediately obvious. Edelson discovered the mechanisms behind a ...
