Oncolytic viruses targeting tumor stem cells.
A workshop "Targeting Oncolytic Viruses to Tumor Stem Cells," organized by the Division of Cancer Biology, NCI, NIH, was held on September 6, 2013 in Rockville, MD. Seventeen invited experts presented an overview of their current research in this area and discussed the state of current research on the use of oncolytic viruses targeted to stem cells as a potential cancer therapy. The goal was to...
متن کاملCancer virotherapy: Targeting cancer cells by microRNA mechanism for selective replication of oncolytic viruses in these cells
Cancer, as one of the most serious public health problems, is the second-leading cause of death in the world after cardiovascular disease. The number of patients and the resulting mortality are increasing worldwide; therefore, early diagnosis, prevention, and effective treatment of cancer are very important. Current treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often non-selective a...
متن کاملOncolytic viral therapy: targeting cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are defined as rare populations of tumor-initiating cancer cells that are capable of both self-renewal and differentiation. Extensive research is currently underway to develop therapeutics that target CSCs for cancer therapy, due to their critical role in tumorigenesis, as well as their resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. To this end, oncolytic viruses targetin...
متن کاملOncolytic viruses & their specific targeting to tumour cells
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. In spite of achieving significant successes in medical sciences in the past few decades, the number of deaths due to cancer remains unchecked. The conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy have limited therapeutic index and a plethora of treatment related side effects. This situation has provided an impetus for search of novel therapeutic s...
