About this document
Stem Cells in Colorectal Cancer Research by lavinia dia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on stem cells and colorectal carcinogenesis. It discusses how mutations within adult colonic stem cells may induce neoplastic changes and lead to colorectal cancer development. Specifically, it is hypothesized that less than 1% of cancer cells have stem cell-like properties that allow them to regenerate tumors and resist chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The document also reviews the characteristics of adult stem cells, including self-renewal, plasticity, differentiation poten
