Identifying an ovarian cancer cell hierarchy regulated by bone morphogenetic protein 2

Abstract excerpt

Whether human cancer follows a hierarchical or stochastic model of differentiation is controversial. Furthermore, the factors that regulate cancer stem-like cell (CSC) differentiation potential are largely unknown. We used a novel microfluidic single-cell culture method to directly observe the differentiation capacity of four heterogeneous ovarian cancer cell populations defined by the expression of the CSC...
