Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells are thought to be a radioresistant population and may be the seeds for recurrence after radiotherapy. Using tumorigenic clones of retroviral immortalized human mesenchymal stem cell with small differences in their phenotype, we investigated possible genetic expression that could explain cancer stem cell radiation resistance. METHODS: Tumorigenic mesenchymal cancer stem cell clones...
