Glioma initiating cells form a differentiation niche via the induction of extracellular matrices and integrin αV.

Glioma initiating cells form a differentiation niche via the induction of extracellular matrices and integrin αV.

Glioma initiating cells (GICs) are considered responsible for the therapeutic resistance and recurrence of malignant glioma. To clarify the molecular mechanism of GIC maintenance/differentiation, we established GIC clones having the potential to differentiate into malignant gliomas, and subjected to...
