Stem Cells and Cancer

Stem Cells and Cancer edited by Rebecca G. Bagley, Beverly A. Teicher.

Significance of Stem Cells to Tumor Development Cancer stem cells remain a controversial topic and the criteria that define cancer stem cells are continuing to evolve. A recent surge in stem cell research has ignited a field of discovery into many human diseases including diabetes, neuropathologies,...
