A model for the intrinsic limit of cancer therapy: Duality of treatment-induced cell death and treatment-induced stemness
25 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Intratumor cellular heterogeneity and non-genetic cell plasticity in tumors pose a recently recognized challenge to cancer treatment. Because of the dispersion of initial cell states within a clonal tumor cell population, a perturbation imparted by a cytocidal drug only kills a fraction of cells. Due to dynamic instability of cellular states the cells not killed are pushed by the treatment into a variety of...
