    Abstract

    Phenotyping Clonal Populations of Glioma Stem Cell Reveals a High Degree of Plasticity in Response to Changes of Microenvironment

    Investigators used a barcode labeling approach of glioma-initiating cells to generate clonal populations over a number of passages, in combination with phenotyping using the established stem cell markers CD133, CD15, CD44, and A2B5.
