The identification of patient-specific disease mechanisms and druggable targets is crucial for precision medicine in glioblastoma. Here, the authors show that comparing patients-matched glioma-initiating cells with neural stem cells enables the discovery of patient-specific mechanisms of disease and the identification of effective drugs
