The mTOR Pathway in Pluripotent Stem Cells: Lessons for Understanding Cancer Cell Dormancy

Abstract excerpt

Currently, the success of targeted anticancer therapies largely depends on the correct understanding of the dormant state of cancer cells, since it is increasingly regarded to fuel tumor recurrence. The concept of cancer cell dormancy is often considered as an adaptive response of cancer cells to stress, and, therefore, is limited.
