Mammosphere Formation in Breast Carcinoma Cell Lines Depends upon Expression of E-cadherin
4 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Tumors are heterogeneous at the cellular level where the ability to maintain tumor growth resides in discrete cell populations. Floating sphere-forming assays are broadly used to test stem cell activity in tissues, tumors and cell lines. Spheroids are originated from a small population of cells with stem cell features able to grow in suspension culture and behaving as tumorigenic in mice. We tested the ability of...
