Abstract 5353: Characterization of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) in Egyptian breast cancer patients through genetic profiling using the RT-PCR and quantitative real time microarray
Abstract:Background: Stem cells (SC) are cells that can differentiate along distinct lineages through systemic differentiation steps. The concept of self renewal is crucial to understand cancer stem cells (CSC) and the mechanisms by which current therapies might evade the available treatment modalities. The aim of the present study was to characterize breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) by genetic profiling of properly isolated BCSCs at different stages using the recently developed quantitative real time microarray technol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
