Stem Cells in Cancer Research
Stem cells play a significant role in cancer research by helping scientists understand tumor development, progression, and resistance to treatment. Cancer stem cells, a subpopulation within tumors, are believed to drive relapse and metastasis. Studying these cells provides insight into targeting the root of cancer more effectively. Ongoing research aims to develop therapies that eliminate cancer stem cells while sparing healthy tissue.
