Abstract

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary brain cancer with an extremely poor prognosis. Recent studies in Drosophila and mammalian models (e.g., xenografts of human cancer cells into small animals) are summarized to elucidate the intercellular interactions between apoptosis-prone cancer cells and hyperproliferative cancer cells. These evolving investigations will yield insights on molecular signaling interactions in the context of post-therapeutic phenotypic changes in human cancers.
