Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence indicates cancer stem cells (CSCs) possess the capability to resist DNA-damage induced cell death, whereas the mechanism is largely unknown. Here we show that cell cycle status and DNA damage response (DDR) in CSCs probably contribute to their survival in genotoxic insults....
