Abstract:

Cancer stem cells represent a subpopulation of the primary cancer that is predominantly characterized by drug resistant phenotypes exhibiting tumorigenic potential. Long-term treatment options lead to emergence of drug resistant cancer stem cells. Relevant models for cancer stem cells facilitate novel experimental approaches that identify efficacy of stem cell targeted therapeutic agents. Experiments in the present study were designed to characterize stem cell models from molecular subtypes of clinical breast cancer.
