Targeting cancer stem cells expressing an embryonic signature with anti-proteases to decrease their tumor potential
4 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a specific subset of cancer cells that sustain tumor growth and dissemination. They might represent a significant treatment target to reduce malignant progression and prevent tumor recurrence. In solid tumors, several hierarchically organized CSC clones coexist, even within a single tumor. Among them, CSCs displaying an embryonic stem cell 'stemness' signature, based on the expression...
