Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) from metastatic breast cancer patients were harvested and grown in vitro for 30+ days in a novel short-term culture method. Additionally, RNA from the buffy coat of 5 he
Cancer cells can disseminate from early-evolved primary lesions. It is thought that a state of early disseminated cancer cell (early DCC) dormancy would precede genetic maturation of DCCs and metastas
We used an Aldefluor assay system to study the signaling pathways that regulate the frequency and maintenance of ALDH-positive cell population in MCF-7 cells as a CSC model. Through microarray analysi
