Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells,Volume 3 Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells, Therapeutic Applications in Disease and Injury: Volume 3

It is pointed out that cancer stem cell is a cell type within a tumor that possesses the capacity of cell-renewal and can give rise to the heterogeneous lineages of cancer cells that comprise the tumor. It is emphasized that a cancer stem cell is a tumor initiating cell. That conventional chemothera...
