Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor whose growth is driven by stemcell-like cells. BMP signaling triggers cell-cycle exit and differentiation of GBM stemcells (GSCs) and, therefore, might have therapeutic value. However, the epigenetic mechanisms that accompany differentiation remain poorly defined. It is also unclear whether cell-cycle arrest is terminal. Herewe find only a subset ofGSCcultures exhibit astrocyte differentiation in response to BMP. Although overtly differentiated non ...[more]
