Abstract

In several forms of human cancer, only a phenotypic subset of cancer cells, usually termed "cancer stem cells" (CSC), can initiate tumor growth when transplanted. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Hermann et al. (2007) analyze the relationship between CSC and tumor metastasis.

摘要

在几种人类癌症中，只有癌细胞的一个表型亚群，通常称为“癌症干细胞”（CSC），在移植时能够启动肿瘤生长。在本期《细胞·干细胞》杂志中，赫尔曼等人（2007年）分析了癌症干细胞与肿瘤转移之间的关系。
