Cancer initiating/ stem cells (CSCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation that contributes to tumor initiation, recurrence and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Targeting of colorectal cancer stem cells (CCSCs) holds significant promise in eradicating cancer cells and ultimately curing patients ...
Cancer stem cell (CSC) theory states that tumors are organized in a similar hierarchical manner as normal tissues, with a sub-population of tumorigenic stem-like cells that generate the more differentiated nontumorigenic tumor cells. CSCs are chemoresist

Immunotherapy is a promising new form of cancer treatment, but the supercharged immune cells it employs can become exhausted in the fight. Researchers in Japan have found a way to keep them going for longer, by rejuvenating them with stem cells. ...
When cells in the body start dividing and regenerating uncontrollably, they lead to cancer – and this is true for all the cells in the body. If the cancer is not nipped in its bud early on, it can spread to other parts of the body. This presents the common question asked regards canc...
In a fight against cancer, Victoria man’s only stem cell match was his own donation More mixed race and Asian stem cell donors needed, says Victoria family Jeremy Chow, a father of two, is encouraging British Columbians to donate stem cells after being diagnosed with Acute Myel...

The bioengineered immune players called CAR T cells last longer and work better if pumped up with a large dose of a protein that makes them resemble stem cells. By Sara Reardon A CAR T cell (orange; artificially coloured) attacks a cancer cell (green). Credit: Eye Of Science/SPL ...
" Kim said. "I am confident she will be successful and, through her efforts, make important contributions to both our understanding of the biology andcancer stem cellsin neuroblastoma and our approach and
But most importantly, the dendritic cells isolated from patients’ blood are not able to fire up both arms of theimmune systemto fight the tumor – they only produce antibodies rather than activating T cells. It is the T cells seeking out and destroying thecancercells that is crucial for a ...
