Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in melanoma: There's smoke, but is there fire?

Journal of cellular physiology - 1 Oct 2017

Brinckerhoff Constance E

Abstract excerpt

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), also called Tumor Initiating Cells (TICs), can be defined as cancer cells that are present within solid tumors or hematological cancers, which have characteristics associated with normal stem cells, but which can give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. CSCs, therefore, are transformed stem cells, which can self-renew, differentiate into diverse progenies, and...
