Normal stem cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs) share similar properties, in that both have
the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types. In both the normal stem …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a promising tool for cell therapy, either through direct
contribution to the repair of bone, tendon and cartilage or as an adjunct therapy through …

Tumor contains small population of cancer stem cells (CSC) that are responsible for its
maintenance and relapse. Analysis of these CSCs may lead to effective prognostic and …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently been identified in leukaemia and solid tumours;
however, the role of CSCs in metastasis remains poorly understood. This dearth of …

Prostate cancer (PCa) contains a small population of cancer stem cells (CSCs) that
contribute to its initiation and progression. The development of specific markers for …

Abstract Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 A1 (ALDH1A1) has recently been suggested as a
marker for cancer stem or stem-like cancer cells of some human malignancies. The purpose …

Invasion and metastasis are the major cause of deaths in patients with esophageal cancer.
In this study, we isolated cancer stem-like cells from an esophageal squamous cell …

Extensive growth of cancer in humans is a major cause of death. Numerous studies are
being conducted to improve the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. Recent …

Cancer stem-like cells (SLC) resist conventional therapies, necessitating searches for SLC-
specific targets. We established that cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 expression promotes human …

The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) caused by
single-gene defects leading to progressive cellular accumulation of glycosaminoglycans …
