Deskripsi

Self-renewal of cancer stem cells can contribute to glioma progression. Here, the authors show that Notch1 activation in glioma stem cells induces expression of the lncRNATUG1, which promotes self-renewal through the repression of differentiation genes, and that targeting TUG1 represses glioma growth in vivo.
