SF539 cell line
The SF539 cell line is a human glioblastoma cell line derived from a brain tumor in a 34-year-old male patient. Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is an aggressive and highly malignant primary brain tumor that originates from glial cells, specifically astrocytes. Glioblastomas are characterized by rapid growth and poor prognosis, with an average…

Brain tumors types
Brain Tumor vs Brain Cancer: All brain cancers are tumors, but not all brain tumors can be considered cancerous. Noncancerous brain tumors are called benign brain tumors. The most common traits of benign brain tumors are they typically grow slowly, have distinct borders, and rarely spread. Benign tumors can still be dangerous. They can damage and…

Brain Tumors and Brain Cancer
What is a brain tumor? A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. The anatomy of the brain is very complex, with different parts responsible for different nervous system functions. Brain tumors can develop in any part of the brain or skull, including its protective lining, the underside of the brain (skull base),…
