Description

Glioblastoma's stem cells seed its regrowth, and a surface marker that flags them could aim immune therapy precisely. Shuchang Zhou and fourteen co-authors screen antibodies in 2024 and land on CD97, a protein present on every patient derived stem cell line they checked. Silencing it drains the cells' ability to renew themselves and grow tumors.

The protein works through a growth circuit whose blocking also stalls the stem cells. The team then built immune cells of a helper kind, armed with a receptor for CD97, and the cells killed stem cells in dishes and lengthened survival in mice. The authors propose CD97 as a target worth clinical pursuit. A therapy aimed at the seed, they argue, beats mowing the tumor.
