Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIsolation and Identification of Oral Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) within Commercially Available Cell LinesRobert Chauncey, Kai Hatch, Toni Jilka et al.Previous studies have demonstrated some tumors develop or maintain a small sub-population of cells with stem cell-like properties. This Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) may exhibit differential properties that allow their escape from traditional radiation or chemotherapy treatments and may therefore be responsible for cancer recurrence. Few studies have explored this phenomenon among oral cancer cell lines, therefore the objective of … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2018 · 12,719 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRADIOSENSITIZATION OF CANCER STEM CELLS: TARGETING TGFβ, NOTCH OR TELOMERASE TO IMPROVE TUMOR RESPONSE O RADIOTHERAPYIgnacio Fernandez-GarciaRadiation resistant cancer stem cells are the main reason for treatment failure and tumor recurrence after cancer radiotherapy. Increasing biological evidences demonstrate that these cells possess the capacity to repair radiation induced DNA damage, protect themselves from radiation derived reactive oxygen species, survive and proliferate after several fractions of radiotherapy and finally, repopulate the heterogeneity of the tumor. Thus, targeting … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 7,459 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,038 accessesView PDF Cite
