Chemotherapy resistance and stemness in mitotically quiescent human breast cancer cells identified by fluorescent dye retention

Abstract excerpt

Metastatic recurrence in breast cancer is a major cause of mortality and often occurs many years after removal of the primary tumour. This process is driven by the reactivation of disseminated tumour cells that are characterised by mitotic quiescence and chemotherapeutic resistance. The ability to reliably isolate and characterise this cancer cell population is critical to enable development of novel therapeutic...
