Abstract:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subset of cells in cancers that are thought to initiate tumorous transformation and promote metastasis, recurrence, and resistance to treatment.

We may be able to overcome the limitations of cancer treatment with a comprehensive understanding of the biological features and mechanisms underlying… Show more
