However, as demonstrated by a recent report from Stuelten and colleagues [13], the complexity of CSC markers continues to pose challenges for identifying and isolating
the putative tumor stem cell populations by the cell - sorting approach.
Currently, her research interest is focused on the functional characterization of cell - autonomous molecular determinants, known to control cardinal
stem cell properties in normal NSCs, in the attempt of understanding their
putative role in regulating the same properties in brain
tumor - derived cancer
stem cells.
