Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Variations in cell phenotype in a single-cell-derived clone may result from asymmetric cell divisions that lead to different cell fate in a homogenous microenvironment. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the extent of cell variety in single-cell-derived clones and propose a different strategy in treating cancer by observed phenotypic heterogeneity in cellular types. Additionally, the role of...
