And I stumbled across something called cancer stem cells.

At first when I heard of cancer stem cells,

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample.

This is because cancer stem cells are isolated from end stage tumors.

Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

The cancer stem cells remain, and the tumor can return months or years later.

Last summer I worked at Stanford University, doing some research on cancer stem cells.

But adult stem cells are not embryonic stem cells.

That's all stem cells.

So I've studied a lot about stem cells embryonic stem cells are particularly powerful.

So, embryonic stem cells are really incredible cells.

Okay, induced pluripotent stem cells.

Plus we have stem cells.

Somatic or adults stem cells.

Pluripotency distinguishes embryonic stem cells from adult stem cells found in adults while embryonic stem cells can generate all cell types in the body, adult stem cells are multipotent and can produce only a limited number of cell types.

If we cannot use stem cells from your body then we'd like to use donor stem cells.

And this is exactly how one cancer cell becomes two cancer cells, two cancer cells become four cancer cells, and we have ultimately uncontrolled tumor growth.

Neural crest stem cells Hair follicles contain two types of stem cells, one of which appears to represent a remnant of the stem cells of the embryonic neural crest.

In prostate cancer, the cells of these prostate glands mutate into cancer cells.

We've talked about stem cells tonight.

We're now learning to identify the cancer stem cells and identify those as targets and go for the long term cure.

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early stage preimplantation embryo.

The most important difference between stem cells and progenitor cells is that stem cells can replicate indefinitely, whereas progenitor cells can divide only a limited number of times.

For example stem cell treatments involve the harvesting of stem cells from one's own bone marrow and reintroduction (autoinoculation) of those cells at a later date, sometimes after altering those stem cells.

Both human and mouse cells can be reprogrammed by this methodology, generating both human pluripotent stem cells and mouse pluripotent stem cells without an embryo.

It's a great source of stem cells.

These are female and male stem cells.

You all know about embryonic stem cells.

Stem cells are packed in that liposuction fluid.

And for those we still need stem cells.

And obviously, the next question is, hey, well, why don't they just call them stem cells as opposed to embryonic stem cells?

These are cancers or cancer cells.

We've learned at Stanford and other places that we can discover cancer stem cells, the ones that seem to be really responsible for disease relapse.

We also have adult stem cells throughout our body.

But the moral controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells the fact that these cells are derived from five day old human embryos has encouraged research into other types of stem cells.

Adult stem cells are throughout our body, including the blood forming stem cells in our bone marrow, which we've been using as a form of stem cell therapy for over 40 years.

So he'll take, say, falcon skin cells, fibroblast, turn it into induced pluripotent stem cells.

It is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells, which are precursors to blood cells.

Mammary stem cells Mammary stem cells provide the source of cells for growth of the mammary gland during puberty and gestation and play an important role in carcinogenesis of the breast.

At first when I heard of cancer stem cells, I didn't really know how to put the two together. I'd heard of stem cells, and I'd heard of them as the panacea of the future the therapy of many diseases to come in the future, perhaps.

Furthermore, neurosphere derived cells do not behave as stem cells when transplanted back into the brain.
