Magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative neurosonography in syringomyelia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Several studies have shown that human gliomas contain a small population of cells with stem cell-like features. It has been proposed that these "cancer stem cells" may be uniquely responsible for glioma formation and recurrence. However, human gliomas also contain an abundance of cells that closely resemble m...
