  1. More Canoll insights: in a stem cell bases hierarchy, cancer cells are the rebellious ones in it... #BONK about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  2. @parkerjo08 @cancerconnector thanks! about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPad in reply to parkerjo08
  3. That evidence comes from an experiment he suggested to a biologist at UCL #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  4. Jacob thinks the second hypothesis makes more sense in light that cancer sc migrate to where there's cell death #bonk about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  5. 2) death affects the ratio of symmetric cell division in stem cells thus leading to more nasty cancer stem cells #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  6. Resistance happens. Why? 1) cancer stem cells are less radio sensitive #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  7. What is a stem cell? Does not matter but it has the CD133 marker #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  8. @CancerConnector and his continuum model of glioblastoma #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  9. @CancerConnector 's time to talk about stem cells #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  10. @gliomath not game theory this time but I could that other time! #BONK about 9 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA   in reply to gliomath
  11. Pseudo hypoxia suggests that if we normalize o2 levels in the tumour the cells will behave as if they were in hypoxia #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  12. @ara_anderson @CancerConnector @rrockne @gliomath could be? They upregulate hypoxia pathways = more VEGF? about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad in reply to ara_anderson
  13. Pseudo hypoxia, some glioma cells upregulate hypoxia related pathways even when in normal oxygen levels #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  14. Peter Canoll suggests that in older individuals the cells that remain have been selected to tolerate that stress #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  15. Older cells tolerate low oxygen better. They tolerate stress a lot better. #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA  
  16. This morning's speaker #bonk neurosurgery.washington.edu/research/labs/… twitter.com/dbasanta/statu… about 12 hours ago via iOS
  17. Animal models like mouse models are nice but given their life expectancy we are talking about teenage tumours #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  18. Not not incidence increases with Tim but malignancy too and obviously survival rates decrease #BONK about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPad from Seattle, WA
