Testing each of these factors for their ability to return differentiated tumor cells to a stem - like state, identified a combination of four — POU3F2, SOX2, SALL2 and OLIG2 — that was able to reprogram differentiated tumor cells back into glioblastoma stem cells, both in vitro and in an animal model.

Shah and his team loaded the herpes virus into human MSCs and injected the cells into glioblastoma tumors developed in mice.

In 2009 he had been diagnosed with a type of rapidly growing brain tumor called a high - grade astrocytoma that, despite aggressive treatment, eventually evolved into a glioblastoma — the highly malignant brain tumor that also took the lives of Vice President Joe Biden's son, Beau, in 2015 and former Sen. Ted Kennedy in 2009.

According to his unpublished findings, when he puts glioblastoma cells from patients into lab dishes with brain organoids, the cells attach to the surface of the organoids, burrow into them, and within 24 to 48 hours grow into a mass that eventually «looks exactly like what happened in the patient's own brain,» Fine said.

Another is that the transplanted bits of tumor act nothing like cancers in actual human brains, Fine and colleagues reported in 2006: Real - life glioblastomas grow and spread and resist treatment because they contain what are called tumor stem cells, but tumor stem cells don't grow well in the lab, so they don't get transplanted into those mouse brains.

The tumors studied fell into the broad category of high - grade gliomas: diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, which strikes school - aged children; pediatric cortical glioblastoma, which affects primarily teens and young adults; anaplastic oligodendroglioma, which affects young adults; and glioblastoma multiforme, which affects older adults.

It may help classify patients with very high accuracy into the different existing glioblastoma subtypes, which differ in survival and treatment response.

The findings may even have implications for studying glioblastoma, a common brain cancer whose ability to grow, migrate and hack into the brain's blood supply appears to rely on a pattern of gene activity similar to that now identified in these neural stem cells.
