Utility of Human-Derived Models for Glioblastoma

Xujun Luo et al. Cancer Discov. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

In this issue, Pine and colleagues compared single-cell RNA-sequencing data across four distinct types of glioblastoma stem cell-derived tumor models, reinforcing the importance of a three-dimensional microenvironment for accurate recapitulation of cellular states.See related article by Pine et al., p. 964.
