Abstract

Resistance of brain tumors to therapy and their eventual recurrence is attributed to stem-like cells. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, a high-throughput kinome-wide screen (Wurdak et al., 2010) has identified TRRAP, a kinase-related protein, as being required for stem cell character in gliomas.
