Resistance to apoptosis‐inducing stimuli in CD44+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells
5 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CD44 was identified previously as a surface marker in cancer stem cells (CSCs) of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Most cancer treatments have been linked to the activation of the apoptosis-signaling pathway; however, the resistance mechanisms to apoptosis in CSCs have not yet been fully elucidated. METHODS: The sensitivity of CD44+ cells to diverse apoptosis-inducing stimuli was...
