Abstract

The growth and repair of normal tissues depends on a small sub-population of cells termed somatic stem cells whose primary characteristic is an ability for indefinite self-renewal. Epithelial stem cells divide to produce cells, termed transient amplifying cells, that undergo a few rounds of more rapid division before they terminally differentiate. Evidence that the growth of tumours, as for normal tissues, is ultimately dependent on a subpopulation of the proliferatively competent cells was first shown for leukaemias by isolation of small sub-populations of phenotypically distinct 'tumour-initiating cells'. Differing cell surface phenotypes also prospectively identify tumour-initiating sub-populations in solid tumours. Even cell lines derived from tumours retain hierarchical stem cell patterns demonstrable as differing clonogenic abilities related to cellular properties such as size, adhesiveness, dye exclusion, and patterns of gene expression. Malignant stem cells appear to form the primary targets of therapy, but how differences between malignant stem and other cells affect therapeutic responses remains unclear. However, transplantation methods exist for their analysis and the in vitro persistence of stem cell patterns may pr...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
