#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. Tumors as well as normal tissues are likely to consist of small number of stem cells that have self-renewal capability and multipotentiality, precursor cells that have limited proliferative potency, and differentiated cells.

  2. Cancer stem cells are thought to be transformed from tissue specific stem cells, precursor cells and/or differentiated cells by genetic/epigenetic mutations.

  3. Cancer stem cells exist in special microenvironment “niche” and seem to keep their resistance to a variety of anti-cancer treatment methods.

  4. Cancer stem cells do not need microenvironment (hypoxic) for the maintenance of stemness, tumorigenesis, and resistance to anti-cancer treatments, chemotherapy and irradiation.
