7 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cancer continues to remain a "Black Box," as there is no consensus on how it initiates, progresses, metastasizes, or recurs. Many imponderables exist about whether somatic mutations initiate cancer, do cancer stem cells (CSCs) exist, and if yes, are they a result of de-differentiation or originate from tissue-resident stem cells; why do cancer cells express embryonic markers, and what leads to metastasis and...
