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

A number of studies have investigated the possibility of identifying specific markers that may distinguish CSCs from the bulk of the tumor (as well as from normal stem cells).

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

However, not every cell in the tumor has the ability to metastasize.

If it is possible to eliminate the cancer stem cell, then a potential cure may be achieved if there are no more CSCs to repopulate a cancer.

What fraction of tumor cells are CSCs and therefore need to be eliminated is not clear yet.

Plus we have stem cells.

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

I seem, for the time being, to be cancer free.

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.

So these were also biologically induced from that stem cell line.

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.

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.

Okay, induced pluripotent stem cells.

It's genetically arrayed.

Somatic or adults stem cells.

And then there's stem cell technology.

That's all stem cells.

These are cancers or cancer cells.

And the cancer cell divides even more frequently and recklessly.

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

You all know about embryonic stem cells.

We've talked about stem cells tonight.

And I focused my research on stem cells as a possible source for cell transplants.

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.

'Okay, like, yeah, I get why this is a cancer cell, and I get why this is a healthy cell.'

Therefore, describing a cancer stem cell as a cell of origin is often an inaccurate claim, even though a cancer stem cell is capable of initiating new tumor formation.

So, embryonic stem cells are really incredible cells.

It is thought that a hypoxic, or oxygen poor environment, can increase cancerous cells.

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

So, in addition to human ES cell research, many groups are focused on the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells).

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

Method One approach to cancer vaccination is to separate proteins from cancer cells and immunize cancer patients against those proteins, in the hope of stimulating an immune reaction that could kill the cancer cells.

But adult stem cells are not embryonic stem cells.

Then, they sprayed stem cells onto that heart, from a mouse.

These are female and male stem cells.

1967 Influence of Biological Environments A Stem Cell Experiment

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.

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.

I'll draw a couple of dendritic cells and these are also the ones that were really good at activating helper T cells.

Therefore, development of specific therapies targeted at CSCs holds hope for improvement of survival and quality of life of cancer patients, especially for patients with metastatic disease.

let the stem cells grow and create a full copy of that mouse.

Stem cells are packed in that liposuction fluid.

Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

Soon, we actually will be able to use stem cells to replace cells that are damaged or diseased.
