Cancer Stem Cells: Novel Concepts and Prospects for Tumor Therapy (Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings)

Buy
The concept that cancer stem cells play an important role in malignant tumors is gaining more and more support due to recent advances in the field. The latest progress in this area is increasingly reported and commented on in the lay press, documenting the high excitement and hopes it generates.

An intricate relationship between stem cells and cancer cells was originally identified in leukemia, and evidence has now accumulated that cancer stem cells are also found in many solid tumor types including breast, prostate, and colon carcinomas. They are closely related to normal stem cells, a very small number of which are found in most tissues. Normal stem cells divide asymmetrically and have the unique capacity to produce an identical daughter cell and one that can differentiate. These progenitor cells have the ability to give rise to all the specialized cells of a given tissue. This process is strictly controlled by the niche microenvironment in which these cells reside, so that the number of stem cells remains constant. Mutations in normal stem cells and failure of the control mechanisms provided by the niche may both play essential roles in the formation of cancer stem cells and in the development of tumors.
