- Are Cancer Stem Cells Real? After Four Decades, Debate Still Simmers. Rowan, Karen // JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute;4/15/2009, Vol. 101 Issue 8, p546
The article focuses on various cancer stem cells models. Stem cell model of carcinogenesis states that these cells are highly resistant to chemotherapy or radiation treatment, and may be the reason that cancers recur after disappearing. Accordingly, some believes that cancer is better explained...
- Regulation of Stem Cell Plasticity: Mechanisms and Relevance to Tissue Biology and Cancer. Strauss, Robert; Hamerlik, Petra; Lieber, Andr�; Bartek, Jiri // Molecular Therapy;May2012, Vol. 20 Issue 5, p887
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are associated with a high degree of plasticity, which allows them to self-renew and differentiate into every somatic cell. During differentiation, ESCs follow a hierarchically organized pattern towards tissue specificity, which ultimately results in permanent cell...

- Say no to stem cell patents. Coghlan, Andy // New Scientist;5/18/2002, Vol. 174 Issue 2343, p5
Reports the stand of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies regarding the patenting of undifferentiated stem cells. Favor on the creation of an European-wide bank of unmodififed stem cells; Influence on the type of stem cell patent applications granted by the European...
- Increased Lysis of Stem Cells but Not Their Differentiated Cells by Natural Killer Cells; De-Differentiation or Reprogramming Activates NK Cells. Han-Ching Tseng; Arasteh, Aida; Paranjpe, Avina; Teruel, Antonia; Wendy Yang; Armin Behel; Alva, Jackelyn A.; Walter, Gina; Head, Christian; Ishikawa, Tomo-o; Herschman, Harvey R.; Cacalano, Nicholas; Pyle, April D.; Park, No-Hee; Jewett, Anahid // PLoS ONE;2010, Vol. 5 Issue 7, p1
The aims of this study are to demonstrate the increased lysis of stem cells but not their differentiated counterparts by the NK cells and to determine whether disturbance in cell differentiation is a cause for increased sensitivity to NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. Increased cytotoxicity and...

The article presents the research of Penn State College of Medicine researchers that investigates the efficacy of stem cells in fighting tumor cells in Pennsylvania.
- Opponents of stem-cell patent win restrictions. Abbott, Alison; Schmidt, Oliver // Nature;8/1/2002, Vol. 418 Issue 6897, p470
Reports on the restriction in the scope of patent covering technologies for purifying human and animal embryonic stem cells by the European Patent Office in 2002. Details of the patent coverage; Groups that filed objections to the patent; Claim against the methods involved in the patent; Basis...
- Cancer cell: using inflammation to invade the host. Arias, Jos�-Ignacio; Aller, Mar�a-Angeles; Arias, Jaime // Molecular Cancer;2007, Vol. 6, p29
Background: Inflammation is increasingly recognized as an important component of tumorigenesis, although the mechanisms involved are not fully characterized. The invasive capacity of cancers is reflected in the classic metastatic cascade: tumor (T), node (N) and metastasis (M). However, this...
- From cell signaling to cancer therapy. Jin Ding; Yun Feng; Hong-yang Wang // Acta Pharmacologica Sinica;Sep2007, Vol. 28 Issue 9, p1494
Cancer has been seriously threatening the health and life of humans for a long period. Despite the intensive effort put into revealing the underlying mechanisms of cancer, the detailled machinery of carcinogenesis is still far from fully understood. Numerous studies have illustrated that cell...
