Abstract excerpt

Abundant evidence supports the hypothesis that cancer arises from normal cells through the stepwise accumulation of genetic mutations. The study of cells obtained from patients with cancer has identified numerous molecules and pathways that fundamentally contribute to malignant transformation; however, cancer cell lines are often difficult to isolate or maintain, and the cell lines that are available for...
