Analogy between sphere forming ability and stemness of human hepatoma cells
27 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests that cancers contain a small subset of cancer-initiating cells, so-called cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are capable of regenerating a tumor after chemoradiation therapy. Sphere forming ability is known to be one of properties of CSCs, but the significance remains unclear.
