Figure 1. Asymmetric division is associated with cancer stem cells in early-stage tumors
(Left) miR-34a regulates asymmetric division of cancer stem cells to form well-differentiated tumors in early-stage cancer. (Right) Late-stage cancer suppresses miR-34a and asymmetric division, which promotes symmetric self-renewal to form ∂undifferentiated tumors.
