Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer recurrence is believed to be caused by a subpopulation of cancer cells that possess the stem cell attribute of treatment resistance. Recently, we and others have reported the generation of breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), although the physiologic process by which these cells may arise in vivo remains unclear. We show here that exposure of tumor cells to...
