Cancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
متن کاملCancer stem cell markers as potential targets for epithelial cancers.
In recent years, the role of tumor-initiating cells (popularly known as cancer stem cells) in tumor development and availability of novel cancer stem cell/tumor initiating cell markers promises a new arena in understanding their role in developing novel targeted molecules. It is important to identify and understand the relevance of cancer stem cells (CSC)/tumor initiating cells (TIC) in tumor d...

متن کاملW4: Cancer Stem Cells as a New Target Point for Treatment of Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is a destructive form of brain tumor that kills most patients within two years of diagnosis.Treatments for glioblastoma include the usual options of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but there is no effective treatment. The tumors are capable of spreading tendrils out into the brain and it can grow back in a matter of months after being removed. The cancer stem cell...
متن کاملIon channels as targets for cancer therapy.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world. Conventional treatments have severe side effects and low survival rate. It is important to discover new targets and therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of cancer patients. Ion channels are specialized membrane proteins that play important roles in various physiological processes. Recent studies have shown that abnormal express...
