TLDR
These data support the view that dysregulation of specific genetic pathways, rather than cell-of-origin, dictates the emergence and phenotype of high-grade gliomas and provide evidence that p16(INK4a) and p19(ARF) synergize to maintain terminal astrocyte differentiation.

Identification of human brain tumour initiating cells

TL;DR: The development of a xenograft assay that identified human brain tumour initiating cells that initiate tumours in vivo gives strong support for the CSC hypothesis as the basis for many solid tumours, and establishes a previously unidentified cellular target for more effective cancer therapies.

Identification of a Cancer Stem Cell in Human Brain Tumors

TL;DR: The identification and purification of a cancer stem cell from human brain tumors of different phenotypes that possesses a marked capacity for proliferation, self-renewal, and differentiation is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular subclasses of high-grade glioma predict prognosis, delineate a pattern of disease progression, and resemble stages in neurogenesis

TL;DR: Previously undescribed prognostic subclasses of high-grade astrocytoma are identified and discovered to resemble stages in neurogenesis, suggesting functional relevance of tumor subtype molecular signatures is suggested by the ability of cell line signatures to predict neurosphere growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and Characterization of Tumorigenic, Stem-like Neural Precursors from Human Glioblastoma

TL;DR: It is reported that, unlike other brain cancers, the lethal glioblastoma multiforme contains neural precursors endowed with all of the critical features expected from neural stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant astrocytic glioma: genetics, biology, and paths to treatment.

TL;DR: The recent confluence of advances in stem cell biology, cell signaling, genome and computational science and genetic model systems have revolutionized understanding of the mechanisms underlying the genetics, biology and clinical behavior of glioblastoma.

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

TL;DR: The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use and includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material.

Generation of neurons and astrocytes from isolated cells of the adult mammalian central nervous system

TL;DR: Cells of the adult mouse striatum have the capacity to divide and differentiate into neurons and astrocytes.

Subventricular Zone Astrocytes Are Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Mammalian Brain

TL;DR: It is shown that SVZ astrocytes act as neural stem cells in both the normal and regenerating brain and give rise to cells that grow into multipotent neurospheres in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of separate astroglial and oligodendroglial cell cultures from rat cerebral tissue.

TL;DR: These preparations should significantly aid in efforts to examine the biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology of these two major classes of central nervous system cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the INK4a locus in tumor suppression and cell mortality

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the INK4a locus functions to suppress neoplastic growth and the introduction of activated Ha-ras into INk4a-deficient fibroblasts can result in neoplastics transformation.
