Brief Reports: A Distinct DNA Methylation Signature Defines Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Predicts Cancer Outcome
28 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Self-renewal and differentiation are two epigenetic programs that regulate stem cells fate. Dysregulation of these two programs leads to the development of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Recent evidence suggests that CSCs are relatively resistant to conventional therapies and responsible for metastasis formation. Deciphering these processes will help understand oncogenesis and allow the development of new targeted...
