Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Stell, Bleau et al. report that activity of the drug transporter ABCG2 defines a tumorigenic stem-like side population (SP) isolated from glioma. Surprisingly, temozolomide, the first-line chemotherapeutic used for treatment of glioma, increased this side population, and even more so when PTEN was deleted.
