Tumor initiating cancer stem cells from human breast cancer cell lines
2 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer is composed of heterogeneous cell populations with different biological properties. The capacity to form tumors resides in a small group of cells termed tumor initiating cells or cancer stem cells. Tumor initiating cells have been identified in a variety of cancers by sorting of subpopulations based on cell surface markers and transplantation into animal models. Tumor initiating cells have the...
