P08.27 Isolation of tumor mesenchymal stem-like cells from high grade gliomas according to the weight of fresh specimens

It is known that tumor mesenchymal stem-like cells (tMSLCs) can be isolated from high-grade gliomas and also play a role in glioma progression. Moreover, it has been reported that the success of tMSLCs isolation is a critical indicator of the overall survival of World Health Organization grade IV glioma patients. Despite these reports, attempts to isolate tMSLCs from surgical specimen are not always successful. Given that weights of surgical...
