New advances on critical implications of tumor- and metastasis-initiating cells in cancer progression, treatment resistance and disease recurrence.
1 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating lines of experimental evidence have revealed that the malignant transformation of multipotent tissue-resident adult stem/progenitor cells into cancer stem/progenitor cells endowed with a high self-renewal capacity and aberrant multilineage differentiation potential may be at origin of the most types of human aggressive and recurrent cancers. Based on new cancer stem/progenitor cell concepts of...
