DNA repair of cancer stem cells [electronic resource] / Lesley A. Mathews, Stephanie M. Cabarcas, Elaine M. Hurt, editors.

The existence of 'cancer stem cells' (CSCs) has been a topic of heated debate for the last few years within the field of cancer biology. Their continuous characterization in a variety of solid tumors has lead to an abundance of evidence supporting their existence. CSCs are believed to be r...
