Cancer Stem Cells presents a consolidated account of the research done to date and recent progresses in the studies of cancer stem cells. Such a presentation facilitates a better understanding of and draws attention to stem cell and cancer biology - two fields that enhance, move, and evolve into each other continuously. It provides an informative study in designing approaches to apply stem cell principles to cancer biology while offering an overview 606 $aCancer cells 606 $aStem cells 615 0$aCancer cells. 615 0$aStem cells. 676 $a362.196/994 676 $a362.196994 676 $a616.99406 701 $aBapat$b Sharmila$0958392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144112903321 996 $aCancer stem cells$92171450 997 $aUNINA
