A Tunable 2- and 3-Dimensional Cell Culture Substrate for the Isolation, Enrichment, and Study of Breast Cancer Stem Cells
Published Tuesday, October 30, 2012BackgroundThe cancer stem cell hypothesis argues that a small minority of cancer cells in a heterogeneous tumor population drives the tumor growth and is responsible for the relapse and metastasis of the disease. This minority cell population, referred to as cancer stem cells (CSC) due to its stem-cell-like characteristic, has drug-resistant...
