Understanding the Role of Highly Plastic Cancer Cells in Progression and Drug Resistance
What Does Cell Plasticity Mean for Cancer? Cancer is not a uniform mass of identical cells. Within tumors, a small but potent subpopulation exhibits high plasticity—the ability to alter their identity, traits, and behavior in response to their environment. This plasticity allows cancer cells to switch between states that promote growth, invasion, and survival, including…
