Isolation and characterization of tumorigenic extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells with stem cell‐like properties
15 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that the ability to form and grow tumors specifically resides in a small cell population called cancer stem cells (CSCs). These studies were conducted mainly on various human cancers; however, isolation and characterization of stem cells from cholangiocarcinoma have not been attempted. The molecular markers CD24, CD44, CD34, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) are widely used,...
