I'm studying glioblastoma and I can't help but notice that a large majority of the basic research papers use this one cell line.
Is there a resource anyone knows about that would allow to to see how many papers use it? (i.e. 50% of publications with the word 'Glioma' also used 'U87')
I tried to see if I could set up filters on PubMed but it wasn't working. Does anyone know the answer or know how I can find it?
Hi
You can find good documents under this topic of researchgate.
Brain tumor: Can anybody suggest a good human brain tumor cell line for drug discovery study?
On the other hand, there is a debate on contamination of the mentioned cell line. Here are some links.
