Deciphering biological characteristics of tumorigenic subpopulations in human colorectal cancer reveals cellular plasticity
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background: It is supposed that human colorectal cancer consists of a phenotypically distinct population of tumorigenic cancer cells known as cancer stem cells (CSCs) which play a pivotal role in cancer progression, maintenance, metastasis, and the relapse. The aim of this effort was to investigate and compare biological characterizations of CD133 + with CD133 − cell subsets isolated from both primary and...
