## Abstract A cancer stem cell (CSC) is defined as an undifferentiated cell with the ability to selfβrenew, differentiate to multiple lineages and initiate tumors that mimic the parent tumor. In this review, we focus on glioblastomas, describing recent progress and problems in characterizing these
## Abstract Several solid tumors have now been shown to contain stem cellβlike cells called cancer stem cells (CSC). These cells, although generally rare, appear to be highly tumorigenic and may be the cells that drive tumor formation, maintain tumor homeostasis, and mediate tumor metastasis. In th
## Abstract Stem cells are defined by their ability to selfβrenew and their multiβpotent differentiation capacity. As such, stem cells maintain tissue homeostasis throughout the life of a multicellular organism. Aerobic metabolism, while enabling efficient energy production, also generates reactive
