A novel 3D human glioblastoma cell culture system for modeling drug and radiation responses [PDF]
Background. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, with dismal prognosis. The failure of drug–radiation combinations with promising preclinical data to translate into effective clinical treatments may relate to the use of simplified

A glioblastoma neurosphere line with alternative lengthening of telomeres [PDF]
Neoplastic cells must maintain telomeres in order to replicate extensively, often by inducing telomerase activity. However, some tumors use a telomerase-independent mechanism dependent upon homologous recombination known as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) [1].

In vitro neurosphere formation correlates with poor survival in glioma
Sphere formation is an indicator of tumor aggressiveness independent of the tumor grade; however, its relation to progression‐free survival (PFS) is less known. This study was designed to assess the neurosphere forming ability among low grade glioma (LGG)

Neural derivation of human dental pulp stem cells via neurosphere technique.
INTRODUCTION Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are multipotent stem cells providing an autologous noninvasive cell source. The study evaluates the neurogenic potential of hDPSCs using neural growth factor inducers and neurosphere technique ...

Genotype-specific differences between mouse CNS stem cell lines expressing frontotemporal dementia mutant or wild type human tau. [PDF]
Stem cell (SC) lines that capture the genetics of disease susceptibility provide new research tools. To assess the utility of mouse central nervous system (CNS) SC-containing neurosphere cultures for studying heritable neurodegenerative disease, we ...

Machine Learning Guided Design of Nerve‐On‐A‐Chip Platforms with Promoted Neurite Outgrowth
Compared to labor‐intensive trial‐and‐error experimentation, a machine learning (ML)‐guided workflow, incorporating cell viability assays, data augmentation, ensemble modeling, and model interpretation, is developed to accelerate nerve‐on‐a‐chip optimization and uncover data‐driven design principles.

Human prostate sphere-forming cells represent a subset of basal epithelial cells capable of glandular regeneration in vivo. [PDF]
BackgroundProstate stem/progenitor cells function in glandular development and maintenance. They may be targets for tumor initiation, so characterization of these cells may have therapeutic implications.

Chronic wasting disease prion infection of differentiated neurospheres [PDF]
A possible strategy to develop more diverse cell culture systems permissive to infection with naturally occurring prions is to exploit culture of neurospheres from transgenic mice expressing the normal prion protein (PrP) of the native host species. Accordingly, we developed differentiated neurosphere cultures from the cervid PrP-expressing mice to ...
