Abstract
Significant new progress was made 10 years ago in the hypothesis that neuroglial cells, neural stem cells, and glioma stem cells (GSCs) depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME) transformation: (1) Because GSCs also have heterogeneity, they are a state, not an entity. (2) The importance of the border niche among many tumor niches is emphasized because it is a shelter for tumor resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. (3) The plasticity of GSCs and TME cells allows TME cells to become GSC-initiating cells. (4) Future development will entail a close interaction between high-throughput molecular biology and artificial intelligence. In this review, we summarize recent advances in GSCs and their microenvironment from the following three aspects: the constantly updated of concept of stem cells, the concept of TME and niche, and the plasticity of GSCs and TME cells.
