Recent studies in stem cell biology have refined our understanding of the origin and progression of cancer. Identification and characterization of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs), especially those in the adult human brain, have inspired new ideas for selectively targeting and destroying malignan
Malignant gliomas remain refractory to intensive radiotherapy and cellular hypoxia enhances clinical radioresistance. Under hypoxic conditions, the benzotriazine di-N-oxide (3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-dioxide) (tirapazamine) is reduced to yield a free-radical intermediate that results in DNA da
