Pericytes are a heterogeneous population of cells located in the blood vessel wall. They
were first identified in the 19th century by Rouget, however their biological role and potential …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor containing a subpopulation of glioma stem cells
(GSC). Pan-cancer analyses have revealed that stemness of cancer cells correlates …

Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1)/tolloid-like proteinases, here called BTPs,
include the proteases originally identified for their roles in the C-terminal maturation of …

Although temozolomide (TMZ) provides significant clinical benefit for glioblastoma (GBM),
responses are limited by the emergence of acquired resistance. Here, we demonstrate that …
