Cancer stem cells
Here is information about recent Whitehead accomplishments in work on cancer stem cells.
A simple twist of cell fate (2008, Paradigm article)
Tapping an embryonic program, adult cells gain properties of stem cells.
Embryonic pathway delivers stem cell traits (2008, news release)
Understanding the role of EMT in adult stem cell creation may lead toward the development of healthy stem cells for regenerative medicine and provide drug targets for cancer.
Newly created cancer stem cells could aid breast cancer research (2007)
After being injected with just 100 cells, mice develop tumors that metastasize.
Shedding light on cancer stem cells (2007)
Cells created from scratch to trigger breast cancer will bring new evidence to a fierce scientific debate.
