Three separate studies on mice appear to have confirmed the view that the growth of tumours is driven by so-called cancer stem cells.
The researchers claim to have resolved one of the biggest controversies in cancer research and say their work marks a “paradigm shift” in the field.
Areas to think about:
- What implications does this research have?
- How might you target cancer more effectively with this knowledge?
- What might some practical difficulties be?
