Cancer stem cells are not 'one size fits all,' lung cancer models show Date: July 5, 2010 Source: Children's Hospital Boston Summary: Cancer stem cells have enticed scientists because of the ...

The first approach was based on the SP phenotype (low Hoechst 33342 staining pattern) of stem cells. SP lung cancer cells isolated from H460, H23, HTB-58, A549, H441 and H2170 cell lines ...

A lung cancer research team reports that lung cancer stem cells can be isolated -- and then grown -- in a preclinical model, offering a new avenue for investigating immunotherapy treatment options ...

Despite the marked improvement in the survival of patients with other common malignancies (eg, breast, prostate) arising from advances in diagnostics, surgery, and chemotherapy, overall 5-year ...

Small-cell lung cancer is when abnormal cells in your lung grow fast and uncontrollably. It’s an aggressive form of cancer that often starts in your airways and then spreads, or metastasizes, to ...

The big problem comes when lung cancer cells — which typically develop from AT2 cells — take on some “remembered” properties of the AT1 cells that AT2 cells differentiate into when they’re playing ...

In the context of lung adenocarcinoma, which is a major form of cancer originating from AT2 cells, understanding how aging affects stem cell behavior is essential for advancing cancer prevention ...

The gene is most highly expressed in this stem cell-like population, the scientists found. And when they experimentally increased or lowered its activity in cancer cell lines, it altered the ability ...

The role of ALDH as a possible marker for lung cancer stem cell: as ALDH cells in cancer cell lines, as well as those extracted from lung cancer tissue, ...

New research highlights the promise of a novel stem cell treatment strategy for leptomeningeal brain metastasis (LBM), a severe form of metastatic brain cancer that spreads to membranes ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world today and is poised to claim approximately 1 billion lives during the 21st century. A major challenge in treating this and other cancers ...
