Phenotypical and functional studies on putative cancer stem cells of human melanoma
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence obtained in a variety of human tumours support the theory of cancer stem cells (CSCs). The aim of this thesis was the isolation and the biomolecular characterization of the tumorigenic subpopulation of melanoma cells. Melanoma cells growing in stem cell medium as non-adherent colonies, here named 'melanospheres', were successfully isolated from melanoma specimens or from melanoma cell lin...
