Stem cells and cancer: Two faces of eve
Article Abstract:
Evidence suggests that a subset of cancel cells within some tumors, the so-called cancer stem cells might drive the growth and metastasis of these tumors. Understanding the pathways that regulate proliferation, self-renewal, survival, and differentiation of malignant and normal stem cells might shed light on mechanisms that lead to cancer and suggest better modes of treatment.
