[PDF][PDF] Glioblastoma cancer stem cells evade innate immune suppression of self-renewal through reduced TLR4 expression
Tumors contain hostile inflammatory signals generated by aberrant proliferation, necrosis,
and hypoxia. These signals are sensed and acted upon acutely by the Toll-like receptors (…

Myeloid-derived suppressor cell subsets drive glioblastoma growth in a sex-specific manner
Sexual dimorphism at the level of MDSC subset prevalence, localization, and gene-expression
profile constitutes a therapeutic opportunity. Our results indicate that chemotherapy can …

ADAMDEC1 maintains a growth factor signaling loop in cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSC) drive tumor growth in many cancers including GBM. We identified
a novel sheddase, ADAMDEC1, which initiates an FGF autocrine loop to promote stemness …
