Overexpression of partner of numb induces asymmetric distribution of the PI4P 5-Kinase Skittles in mitotic sensory organ precursor cells in Drosophila.

Unequal segregation of cell fate determinants at mitosis is a conserved mechanism whereby cell fate diversity can be generated during development.In Drosophila, each sensory organ precursor cell (SOP) divides asymmetrically to produce an anterior pIIb and a posterior pIIa cell.The Par6-aPKC complex localizes at the posterior pole of dividing SOPs a

The Role of Cancer Stem Cells (CD133) in Malignant Gliomas

Malignant gliomas, particularly glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors, are very difficult to treat by conventional approaches.Although most of the tumor mass can be removed by surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, it eventually recurs.There is growing evidence that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in Bottle Bag tumor rec
