Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are defined as cells within tumors that can self-renew and differentiate into heterogeneous lineages of cancerous cells. The origin of CSCs is not well understood. Recent evidence suggests that CSCs in hepatocellular carcinoma could be generated via oncogenic transformation and partial differentiation of adult hepatic ductal progenitor cells.
癌症干细胞(CSCs)被定义为肿瘤内能够自我更新并分化为异质性癌细胞谱系的细胞。癌症干细胞的起源尚未完全明确。最近的证据表明,肝细胞癌中的癌症干细胞可能是通过成人肝导管祖细胞的致癌转化和部分分化产生的。
