Cancer stem cells (CSC) are recently proposed to be the cancer initiating cells responsible for tumorigenesis and contribute to cancer resistance. Advances have been made in identifying and enriching CSC in leukemia and several solid tumors, including breast, brain and lung cancers.

The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis has had a major effect on the fields of cancer cell biology and clinical oncology. CSCs were originally described in hematologic malignancies, and subsequently in a variety of solid tumors. Their unique biological characteristics, including self-renewal capability, stem cell signaling pathways, relative quiescence ...

Collagen Type I Induces a Balance in the Expression of Anti- and Pro-Apoptotic Genes in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells [PDF]
Background: The importance of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been shown in many studies. Although restoring or activating apoptosis in tumors is an active area of cancer research, little is ...

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells [PDF]
Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.

Downregulation of 26S proteasome catalytic activity promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition. [PDF]
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) endows carcinoma cells with phenotypic plasticity that can facilitate the formation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and contribute to the metastatic cascade.

Sp1 induced gene TIMP1 is related to immune cell infiltration in glioblastoma
Tumor immune microenvironment exerts a profound effect on the population of infiltrating immune cells. Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) is frequently overexpressed in a variety of cells, particularly during inflammation and tissue ...
