Cancer stem cell regulation changes during skin carcinoma progression to promote metastasis
Researchers from the group of Aging and Cancer, led by Purificación Muñoz in the Institute of Biomedical Research of Bellvitge (IDIBELL) demonstrated that the cancer stem cell features change during the skin squamous cell carcinoma progression to generate highly aggressive and metastasis prone tumors. These results were recently published in Cancer Research journal. Squamous cell […]
