Overview
International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology is pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue focusing on Cancer Stem Cells.
CSCs are cells within a tumour that have self-renewal capability and can initiate tumorigenesis. CSCs have been isolated from a range of human cancers including prostate, colon, breast, head and neck, and brain, despite being a tiny subset (0.001-0.1%) of the tumour cell mass. Due to their intrinsic stem cell-like properties, CSC proliferation rate is higher than surrounding tumour cell and they exhibit resistance towards radiation and chemotherapy treatment leading to disease relapse. Understanding and identifying strategies to target CSCs has important implications for successful cancer therapy. This special issue is focused on the latest advances in our understanding of Cancer Stem Cells.
Original and Review articles are accepted.
