Cancer stem cells (CSCs) sustain tumor growth through their ability to self-renew and to generate differentiated progeny. These functions endow CSCs with the potential to initiate secondary tumors bearing characteristics similar to those of the parent. Recently the hair follicle stem cell marker CD34 was used to purify a CSC-like cell population from early skin tumors arising from treatment with 7,12-dimethylbenz[α]anthracene/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, which typically generates benign ...[more]
