Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways: A Comprehensive Guide

By renowned author Surajit Pathak, Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways delves into the intricacies of cancer stem cell signaling pathways, providing invaluable insights for researchers seeking to overcome the challenges of anti-cancer treatments.

Despite significant advancements in tumor therapy and a deeper understanding of their biology, tumors remain a pervasive and deadly global health issue. A novel paradigm in tumor biology suggests that a small percentage of cells within a tumor, known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), play a critical role in tumor progression.

Understanding Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics and Signaling Pathways

This comprehensive reference guide presents cancer stem cell characteristics and their signaling pathways, highlighting the complex crosstalk among these pathways in CSC regulation. The book also explores:

• The use of animal models for cancer research
• The application of genetically modified stem cells for delivering antitumor agents
• The significance of stem cell signaling in drug discovery

Covering both basic and translational research, Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways is an indispensable resource for scientists and clinicians seeking alternative treatments for various types of cancer.
