Pediatric Research, 2006 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.

American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science, 2012 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 ...

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells [PDF]
Nature, 2001 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.

Journal of Oncology, 2011 The concept of cancer stem cells has generated significant interests among cancer researchers. This has led to proliferative number of publications on the subject in the recent years and eventually controversies because of conflicting data in the literature.

Stemness, cancer, and cancer stem cells [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2008 The ability of cancers to grow indefinitely has fueled the idea that cancer and stem cells may have common underlying mechanisms. Detailed gene expression maps have now shown the diversity and distinctiveness in gene expression programs associated with stemness in embryonic and adult stem cells. These maps have further revealed a shared transcriptional

Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2009 The cancer stem cell hypothesis predicts that only a subpopulation of cells within a tumor is responsible for driving growth. If this hypothesis were true, it would have a significant impact on our current treatment of cancer because conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy target rapidly proliferating cells making up the bulk of the tumor, not ...

Cells, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2013 The stem cell field owes a great deal to the previous work conducted by embryologists and researchers devoted to reproductive medicine. The time is coming when this emerging field will pay off in the reproductive sciences by offering new avenues of understanding gametogenesis and early embryonic development.

Stemness in Cancer: Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells, and Their Microenvironment [PDF]
Stem Cells International, 2017 Stemness combines the ability of a cell to perpetuate its lineage, to give rise to differentiated cells, and to interact with its environment to maintain a balance between quiescence, proliferation, and regeneration. While adult Stem Cells display these properties when participating in tissue homeostasis, Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) behave as their ...

PTEN, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Like normal stem cells, "cancer stem cells" have the capacity for indefinite proliferation and generation of new cancerous tissues through self-renewal and differentiation. Among the major intracellular signaling pathways, WNT, SHH, and NOTCH are known to be important in regulating normal stem cell activities, and their alterations are associated with ...

Prostate Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2018 Stem/progenitor cells play central roles in processes of organogenesis and tissue maintenance, whereas cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to drive tumor malignancy. Here, we review recent progress in the identification and analysis of normal prostate stem/progenitor cells as well as putative CSCs in both genetically engineered mouse models as well as
