Activation of neural and pluripotent stem cell signatures correlates with increased malignancy in human glioma.

The presence of stem cell characteristics in glioma cells raises the possibility that mechanisms promoting the maintenance and self-renewal of tissue specific stem cells have a similar function in tumor cells. Here we characterized human gliomas of various malignancy grades for the expression of ste...
