Glioma Tropic Neural Stem Cells Consist of Astrocytic Precursors and Their Migratory Capacity Is Mediated by CXCR4

Malignant gliomas spawn disseminated microsatellites, which are largely refractory to currently employed therapies, resulting in eventual tumor recurrence and death. The use of tumor-tropic neural stem cells (NSCs) as delivery vehicles for therapeutic gene products represents an attractive strategy...
