Stem Cells and Human Diseases

There have been major advances in understanding the behavior of stem cells and their roles in tissue regeneration, homeostasis and therapy.  Cancer stem cell hypothesis opened a new opportunity for treating and preventing cancers by targeting cancer stem cells or cancer initiating cells.  An increas...
