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.

Stem cells are self-renewing cells capable of differentiating into multiple cell lines and are classified according to their origin and their ability to differentiate. Enormous potential exists in use of stem cells for regenerative medicine. To produce effective stem cell-based treatments for a range of diseases, an improved understanding of stem cell ...

Cells, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
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.

Mechanically-driven Stem Cell Separation in Tissues caused by Proliferating Daughter Cells [PDF]
The homeostasis of epithelial tissue relies on a balance between the self-renewal of stem cell populations, cellular differentiation, and loss. Although this balance needs to be tightly regulated to avoid pathologies, such as tumor growth, the regulatory mechanisms, both cell-intrinsic and collective, which ensure tissue steady-state are still poorly ...

Regulation of stem cell dynamics through volume exclusion [PDF]
Maintenance and regeneration of adult tissues rely on the self-renewal of stem cells. Regeneration without over-proliferation requires precise regulation of the stem cell proliferation and differentiation rates. The nature of such regulatory mechanisms in different tissues, and how to incorporate them in models of stem cell population dynamics, is ...

Prostate Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
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

Stem Cells and Stem Cell Therapy
Abstract This team-based learning (TBL) exercise presents hematopoietic malignancies of myeloid origin and invites users to consider appropriate methods of treatment utilizing stem cell therapy. The 100-minute session is structured in traditional TBL format, and all components—including the learning objectives, reading assignments, individual Readiness

PTEN, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
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 ...

Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
The different organs in human organism are constituted by tissues with mature and specialized cells and its specific stem cells. Stem cells represent only a minuscule fraction of cells that constitute each tissue but they are the only cells with self-renewal capacity. The organ-specific stem cells have specific properties that maintain tissue integrity

Glioblastomas are highly malignant primary brain tumors with one of the worst survival rates among all human cancers. With a more profound understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor initiation and acquired resistance to conventional radio- and chemotherapy, novel therapeutic targets might be discovered to optimize therapeutic ...
