Enrichment of brain tumor stem cells following radiation treatment has additionally been demonstrated and could be because of differential DNA damage repair capacity. CD133+ brain tumor stem cells in human glioma xenografts and isolated human GBM tumor specimens were significantly enriched following radiation. Glioma tumor stem cell radioresistance and enrichment were mediated via activation from [...]
