Carcinomas are complex heterocellular systems containing epithelial cancer cells, stromal
fibroblasts, and multiple immune cell‐types. Cell‐cell communication between these tumor …

Simple Summary Cancer stem cells (CSCs) fuel tumor growth, metastasis and resistance to
therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC). These cells therefore represent a promising target for …

Liquid biopsy for determining the presence of cancer and the underlying tissue of origin is
crucial to overcome the limitations of existing tissue biopsy and imaging-based techniques …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients develop recurrence after chemotherapy owing to the
survival of stem cell-like cells referred to as cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). The origin of …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are highly implicated in the progression of human cancers. Thus,
targeting CSCs may be a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Wnt/β‐catenin and Sonic …

Polysaccharides comprise a diverse class of polymeric materials with a history of proven
biocompatibility and continual use as biomaterials. Recent focus on new matrices …

Autophagy has a dual role in the maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the precise
relationship between autophagy and cancer stemness requires further investigation. In this …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are tumor cells with initiating ability, self‐renewal potential, and
intrinsic resistance to conventional therapeutics. Efficient isolation and characterization of …

Resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents, including irinotecan (CPT‑11), 5-
fluorouracil and capecitabine is a major cause for therapeutic failure in patients with …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a rare cell population in tumors that are responsible for tumor
recurrence and metastasis. They are a priority as therapeutic targets, however, assays …
