SR-FTIR spectroscopy of renal epithelial carcinoma side population cells displaying stem cell-like characteristics
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
It is hypothesized that cells with stem cell-like properties may be influential in carcinogenesis, possessing the ability to self-renew, produce differentiated daughter cells and resist environmental or therapeutic injury. This has led to a surge in interest in identifying and characterizing the tumour initiating or cancer stem cell (CSC) with the aim of discovering novel diagnostic and prognostic markers and of...
