ProblemCellosaurus's note
Misidentified
This cell line is not the original glioblastoma cell line established in 1968 at the University of Uppsala. As described in PubMed=27582061 it is most probably also a glioblastoma cell line but whose origin is unknow. See U-87MG Uppsala (Cellosaurus=CVCL_GP63) for the original U-87MG cell line.
