Effect of Garcinia rubra Merr. Leaf Extracts on Mammosphere Formation and Development of MCF7 Cancer Stem Cells
Ma Victoria L. Melendres | Lerrie Ann Ipulan-colet | Carlo A. Limbo
Abstract:
Recent developments in cancer research have been intensely focused on understanding cancer stem cells (CSCs) – tumorigenic cells that have indefinite proliferative potential and are resistant to traditional radio- and chemotherapy. Developing drugs that can selectively target these CSC’s is pivotal in the prevention of cancer progression and relapse.
