TREM2 sustains microglial expansion during aging and response to demyelination

TL;DR: The basis for this genetic association is addressed using Trem2(-/-) mice, and it is concluded that TREM2 is required for promoting microglia expansion during aging and microglial response to insults of the white matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

NK cells recognize and kill human glioblastoma cells with stem cell-like properties.

TL;DR: All stem cell-cultured glioblastoma cells analyzed did not express protective amounts of HLA class I molecules, while expressing various ligands of activating NK receptors that triggered optimal NK cell cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurospheres enriched in cancer stem-like cells are highly effective in eliciting a dendritic cell-mediated immune response against malignant gliomas.

TL;DR: It is suggested that DC targeting of CSC provides a higher level of protection against GL261 gliomas, a finding with potential implications for the design of clinical trials based on DC vaccination.
