HS-683 Cells

HS-683 is a human glioma cell line derived from the brain tissue of an adult patient diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. Glioblastoma multiforme is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer, known for its rapid growth and poor prognosis. The HS-683 cell line is valuable in cancer research due to its ability to provide insights into the molecular mechanisms driving glioma proliferation, invasion, and resistance to therapies. HS-683 cells exhibit many characteristics typical of glioma cells, including high proliferative capacity and the expression of markers such as GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), which is indicative of their glial origin. These cells are commonly used in studies investigating the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents, radiation treatments, and novel targeted therapies. Researchers utilize HS-683 to explore genetic and epigenetic alterations, signal transduction pathways, and the tumor microenvironment's role in glioma progression. The HS-683 cell line, therefore, serves as a crucial model for developing and testing new therapeutic strategies aimed at improving outcomes for patients with glioblastoma.
