- Description
- Here, we used NB tumor-initiating cells to reconstitute NB development and demonstrated that c-KIT(+) cells are de novo generated and dynamically maintained within the tumors to sustain tumor progression. c-KIT(+) NB cells express higher levels of neural crest and stem cell markers (SLUG, SOX2 and NANOG) and are endowed with high clonogenic capacity, differentiation plasticity and are refractory to drugs.
