Schematic representation of the two theories about glioblastoma cellular origin. Dedifferentiation theory – all cells have tumorigenic potential but under different stimuli only some of them will contribute to tumor growth. Stem cell theory – only a fraction of cells, named cancer stem cells, are able to self-renew, initiate and regrow a tumor. Cell figures are for graphical representation only and do not show actual cell shapes.
