Effect of Dedifferentiation on Time to Mutation Acquisition in Stem Cell-Driven Cancers [PDF]
, 2013 Accumulating evidence suggests that many tumors have a hierarchical organization, with the bulk of the tumor composed of relatively differentiated short-lived progenitor cells that are maintained by a small population of undifferentiated long-lived cancer stem cells.

Complexity in cancer stem cells and tumor evolution: towards precision medicine [PDF]
, 2017 In this review, we discuss recent advances on the plasticity of cancer stem cells and highlight their relevance to understand the metastatic process and to guide therapeutic interventions. Recent results suggest that the strict hierarchical structure of cancer cell populations advocated by the cancer stem cell model must be reconsidered since the ...

Stem cells of Hydra magnipapillata can differentiate into somatic cells and germ line cells [PDF]
, 1987 We investigated whether all stem cells of Hydra can differentiate both somatic cells and gametes or if a separate germ line exists in these phylogenetically old organisms.

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Overexpressing Interleukin 2 Can Suppress Proliferation of Neuroblastoma Cells in Co-Culture and Activate Mononuclear Cells In Vitro [PDF]
, 2020 High-dose recombinant interleukin 2 (IL2) therapy has been shown to be successful in renal cell carcinoma and metastatic melanoma. However, systemic administration of high doses of IL2 can be toxic, causing capillary leakage syndrome and stimulating pro ...

Stem cells: the intestinal stem cell as a paradigm [PDF]
Carcinogenesis, 2000 Stem cell research provides a foundation for therapeutic advancement in oncology, clinical genetics and a diverse array of degenerative disorders. For example, the elucidation of pathways governing proliferative regulation and differentiation within cellular systems will result in medical strategies aimed at the root cause of cancer.

Stem cell population asymmetry can reduce rate of replicative aging [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 331 (2013) 19-27, 2012 Cycling tissues such as the intestinal epithelium, germ line, and hair follicles, require a constant flux of differentiated cells. These tissues are maintained by a population of stem cells, which generate differentiated progenies and self-renew. Asymmetric division of each stem cell into one stem cell and one differentiated cell can accomplish both ...
