MCM5 is a Novel Therapeutic Target for Glioblastoma.

Objective: MCM5 is a DNA licensing factor involved in cell proliferation and has been previously established as an excellent biomarker in a number of malignancies. Nevertheless, the role of MCM5 in GBM has not been fully clarified. The present study aimed to investigate the potential roles of MCM5 in the treatment of GBM and to elucidate its underlying mechanism, which is beneficial for developing new therapeutic strategies and predicting prognosis.
