A Cell-Surface Membrane Protein Signature for Glioblastoma

3 bullets:

  • Using integrated protein and gene expression data, ISB researchers developed a 33-gene signature for glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
  • Glioblastoma gene signatures are associated with TGF-b signaling and cancer invasion.
  • Researchers think that some of the glioblastoma gene signatures have the potential to be used as blood biomarkers for this aggressive cancer.
