Glioblastoma is the most common ma-lignant primary brain tumor in adults. The aggressive growth manner, characterized by marked angiogenesis and extensive tumor cell invasion into normal brain parenchyma with frequent formation of tumor microsatellites at distal sites, makes eradication impossible even after extensive microsurgical resection combined with current standard chemoradiation and adjuvant temozolomide. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies must to be investigated for the development of a more effective treatment strategy. Stem cell-based therapies are emerging as novel cell-based delivery vehicle for therapeutic agents.

After contralateral ventricular administration, DiI-labeled umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells migrated from the initial injection site towards the glioma (arrows), mainly distributing along the interface of tumor and normal brain parenchyma.
