PRINCIPLES OF STEM CELL BIOLOGY AND CANCER
Future Applications and Therapeutics
The field of cancer stem cells is expanding rapidly, with many groups focusing on isolating and identifying cancer stem cell populations. Although some progress has been made in developing efficient cancer therapies, targeting of cancer stem cells remains one of the important challenges facing the growing stem cell research community.
Principles of Stem Cell Biology and Cancer brings together original contributions from international experts in the field to present the very latest information linking stem cell biology and cancer. Divided into two parts, Principles of Stem Cell Biology and Cancer begins with a detailed introduction to stem cell biology, with a focus on the characterization of these cells, the progress that has been made in their identification and their future therapeutic applications. The second part focuses on cancer stem cells and their role in cancer development, progression and chemo-resistance. This part includes an overview of recent progress concerning therapies targeting cancer stem cells.
Principles of Stem Cell Biology and Cancer will prove an invaluable resource for basic and applied researchers and clinicians working on the development of new cancer treatments and therapies, providing a timely publication of high-quality reviews outlining the current progress and exciting future possibilities for stem cell research.
