Modeling of Cancer Stem Cell State Transitions Predicts Therapeutic Response
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) possess capacity to both self-renew and generate all cells within a tumor, and are thought to drive tumor recurrence. Targeting the stem cell niche to eradicate CSCs represents an important area of therapeutic development. The complex nature of many interacting elements of the stem cell niche, including both intracellular signals and microenvironmental growth factors an...
متن کاملCancer 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 کاملTherapeutic efficacy of cancer stem cell vaccine
Methods We have developed a strategy to target the CSC populations in melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma using CSC lysate-pulsed dendritic cells (DC). D5 is a poorly immunogenic clone of the melanoma cell line B16 syngeneic to B6 mice. In minimal tumor model, B6 mice were inoculated subcutaneously with D5 cells. The 1st vaccine was administered 24 hours after tumor inoculation for treatment, ...
متن کاملNature and Validity of Contracts in Stem Cell Therapeutic Research
One of the most influential scientific approaches in the twentieth century has been discovering stem cells and their therapeutic effectiveness. On the one hand, countless diseases are considered incurable through valid scientific treatments and on the other hand, the hope for new treatments has been considered a promotor of the medical studies in research centers. Throughout such research piece...
متن کاملCancer Stem Cell Plasticity Drives Therapeutic Resistance
The connection between epithelial-mesenchymal (E-M) plasticity and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties has been paradigm-shifting, linking tumor cell invasion and metastasis with therapeutic recurrence. However, despite their importance, the molecular pathways involved in generating invasive, metastatic, and therapy-resistant CSCs remain poorly understood. The enrichment of cells with a mesenchym...
