Numerous cancers contain cell subpopulations that exhibit stem cell characteristics. These putative cancer stem cells (CSCs) seem to resist chemotherapy and radiation therapy and initiate tumor recurrence. Therefore, it is important to isolate and...
The growth of cancer cell lines is inhibited by curcumin, a major constituent of the spice turmeric. Equally important, curcumin has little or no effect on non-transformed cells. Because of the great diversity of cancer cell types that have been...
Curcumin, the major active ingredient of turmeric, has been shown to kill several types of malignant cells while it has little or no effect on normal cells, suggesting that it may be an effective therapeutic agent. Although some studies have...
Background
Many cancers contain cell subpopulations that display characteristics of stem cells. Because these cancer stem cells (CSCs) appear to provide resistance to chemo-radiation therapy, development of therapeutic agents that target CSCs is...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) appear to resist chemo-radiotherapy and initiate tumor recurrence in
patients. Isolation and further characterization of this subpopulation is important for targeting
CSCs. Flow cytometry using Aldefluor, a fluorescent...
