Dedifferentiation of neurons and astrocytes by oncogenes can induce gliomas in mice.

TL;DR: It is proposed that most differentiated cells in the CNS upon defined genetic alterations undergo dedifferentiation to generate a NSC or progenitor state to initiate and maintain the tumor progression, as well as to give rise to the heterogeneous populations observed in malignant gliomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dedifferentiation and reprogramming: origins of cancer stem cells

TL;DR: The similarities between tumor dedifferentiation and somatic cell reprogramming are discussed and how this may pose a risk to the application of this new technology in regenerative medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a novel mouse glioma model using lentiviral vectors

TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of Cre-loxP–controlled lentiviral vectors is a novel way to generate a mouse glioblastoma multiforme model in a region- and cell type-specific manner in adult mice.
