Cancer stem cells made, not born | Harvard Gazette

news.harvard.edu — “In cancer, tumors aren’t uniform: they are more like complex societies, each with a unique balance of cancer cell types playing different roles. Understanding this “social structure” of tumors is critical for treatment decisions in the clinic because different cell types may be sensitive to different drugs.View full resource at news.harvard.edu
