Quick Overview

Human glioblastoma cell line used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

T98G is a human glioblastoma cell line derived from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor. It is widely used in research for studying glioblastoma biology, drug screening, and therapeutic development. The cell line exhibits characteristics of mesenchymal and epithelial markers, and has been utilized in studies related to tumor progression, angiogenesis, and genetic alterations. T98G is also employed in investigations of DNA repair mechanisms, gene expression, and the role of specific proteins in cancer development and resistance.
