  • Stem cells and cancer: two faces of eve.

    Clarke MF, Fuller M. Cell. 2006; 124 (6): 1111-5

    Recent evidence suggests that a subset of cancer cells within some tumors, the so-called cancer stem cells, may drive the growth and metastasis of these tumors. Understanding the pathways that regulate proliferation, self-renewal, survival, and differentiation of malignant and normal stem cells may shed light on mechanisms that lead to cancer and suggest better modes of treatment.
