Abstract |
In vitro propagation of patient-derived glioblastoma (GBM) cells can be achieved either by adherent monolayer culture, already described in Chapter 3 , or by tumorsphere culture in suspension. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for establishing patient-derived tumorsphere cultures. Such cultures are enriched for GBM stem cells (GSCs) and can be used to generate orthotopic tumor xenografts in the brain of immunocompromised mice. We also point out nuances in the protocol that can increase the yield of successful cultures from operative specimens. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 February 2018.
All research outputs
#15,490,822
of 23,020,670 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,388
of 13,166 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,787
of 442,361 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#596
of 1,498 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,020,670 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,166 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,361 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,498 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
