Cancer Stem Cells covers a wide range of topics incancer stem cell biology, including the functional characteristicsof cancer stem cells and how they're generated, where they arelocalized, the means by which cancer stem cells can be targeted,and how cancer stem cells can be reprogrammed back to normal tissuestem cells. Each chapter begins with a brief historical note andconcept summary, followed by a description of the latest basic orclinical advance associated with the topic. Cancer Stem Cells builds systematically fromcoverage of the basic research stage to an advanced research level,from clinical relevance to therapeutic potential, and will be avaluable resource for professionals in the fields of cancerresearch and stem cell biology.
