New Approach to Cancer Stem Cells


This will be the most important focus of future cancers research.


Collaborative Research Sheds Light On New Cancer Stem Cell Therapies


...
A collaborative anti-cancer research jointly conducted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School and Nevada Cancer Institute has led to the development of a novel class of chemical inhibitors that specifically target cancer cells with pluripotency.
