Abstract excerpt
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for 0.01 to 2% of the total tumor mass; however, they play a key role in tumor progression, metastasis and resistance to current cancer therapies. The generation and maintenance of CSCs are usually linked to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a dynamic process involved in reprogramming cancer cells towards a more aggressive and motile phenotype with increased stemness...
