Luk S, Lee T, Liu J, Lee D, Chiu Y, Ma S, et al.
PLoS One . 2011 May; 6(5):e19804. PMID: 21603625
Recent evidence suggested that prostate cancer stem/progenitor cells (CSC) are responsible for cancer initiation as well as disease progression. Unfortunately, conventional therapies are only effective in targeting the more differentiated...
