Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to initiate mammary tumors and render them resistant to anti-cancer therapies. However, there are currently no ideal biomarkers to identify this minority population in breast cancer. OBJECTIVE: To find out the oligonucleotides with high specificity and affinity for mammosphere cells using a high capacity ssDNA library. METHODS: We used the cell-SELEX...
