  • Method of promoting apoptosis of glioblastoma tumor cells
    Patent number: 8518698
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of promoting apoptosis of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor cells. The method comprises isolating GBM tumor cells from a human brain biopsy specimen, isolating human neural stem cells (HNSCs) from the biopsy specimen, transforming the isolated HNSCs with an operative PEX gene, and exposing GBM tumor cells to the transformed HNSCs to thereby promote apoptosis of the tumor cells mediated by the expressed PEX gene.
