Specific Inhibition of GSK-3β by Tideglusib: Potential Therapeutic Target for Neuroblastoma Cancer Stem Cells Open
Neuroblastoma is an embryonic tumor that represents the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Resistance to therapy is attributed, in part, to the persistence of a subpopulation of slowly dividing cancer stem cells (CSCs) withi…
