Simple Summary Vimentin is an important filamentous protein providing structural and
functional support to the cell. During initial stages of cancer development, vimentin …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), also known as tumor‐initiating cells (TICs), are suggested to be
responsible for drug resistance and cancer relapse due in part to their ability to self‐renew …

Cancer stem cells (CSC) possess abilities generally associated with embryonic or adult
stem cells, especially self-renewal and differentiation. The CSC model assumes that this …

Application of stem cell biology to breast cancer research has been limited by the lack of
simple methods for identification and isolation of normal and malignant stem cells. Utilizing …

The cancer stem cell (CSC) concept, which arose more than a decade ago, proposed that
tumor growth is sustained by a subpopulation of highly malignant cancerous cells. These …

Markers that reliably identify cancer stem cells (CSC) in ovarian cancer could assist
prognosis and improve strategies for therapy. CD133 is a reported marker of ovarian CSC …

Tumor contains small population of cancer stem cells (CSC) that are responsible for its
maintenance and relapse. Analysis of these CSCs may lead to effective prognostic and …

In an increasing number of cancers, tumor populations called cancer stem cells (CSCs) or
tumor initiating cells have been defined in functional assays of self-renewal and tumor …

Background In accord with the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory, only a small subset of cancer
cells are capable of forming tumors. We previously reported that CD44 isolates tumorigenic …

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is a candidate marker for lung cancer cells with stem cell-
like properties. Immunohistochemical staining of a large panel of primary non–small cell …
