Not so lonely at the top for cancer stem cells
Abstract
A subpopulation of cancer cells is believed to be responsible for tumor initiation, propagation, and metastasis. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Dieter et al. (2011) show that these functions in colon cancer can be ascribed to distinct tumor-initiating cell populations.
