The?cancer stem cell? hypothesis postulates that cancer arises from a subpopulation of tumor-initiating cells or cancer stem cells (CSCs). While the idea of cancer stem cells has been around for more than a hundred years, evidence from the fields of hematology and cancer biology…

Rasnick, who worked in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry to develop protease inhibitors and founded three biotech companies, explains the chromosomal imbalance (aneuploidy) theory of cancer, as opposed to the gene mutation theory. He describes how gene mutations are not powerf…
Demonstrating how the malfunction of normal molecular pathways and components can lead to cancer, this text explores how our understanding of these defective mechanisms can be harnessed to develop new targeted therapeutic agents.

Macrophages are tissue resident phagocytes that have important roles in development and immunity. The observation that cancers become infiltrated by large numbers of macrophages was first made by Virchow in 1863, clinical and experimental studies suggest tumor-associated macroph…
