Abstract excerpt
Cancer metastasis is a lethal problem that claims the lives of over 90% of cancer patients. In this study, we have investigated metastatic potential of cancer stem cells (CSCs) isolated from mammary tumors of a Brca1-mutant mouse model. Our data indicated that CSCs, which are enriched in CD24(+)CD29(+)/CD49f(+) cell population, displayed much higher migration ability than CD24(-)CD29(-)/CD49f(-) cells in tissue...
