The key to more effective treatment for
glioma is to get to grips with the

cells, which share many characteristics with the
normal neural stem
cells in the brain.
We can even engineer
glioma genes into
normal cells to see how they operate, and vice versa — we can try and «fix» the damaged
glioma genes in patient's
cells in the dish and see if this brings them back to a
normal state.
