Cancer Stem Cells covers a wide range of topics in
cancer stem cell biology, including the functional characteristics
of cancer stem cells and how they're generated, where they are
localized, the means by which cancer stem cells can be targeted,
and how cancer stem cells can be reprogrammed back to normal tissue
stem cells. Each chapter begins with a brief historical note and
concept summary, followed by a description of the latest basic or
clinical advance associated with the topic.

Cancer Stem Cells builds systematically from
coverage of the basic research stage to an advanced research level,
from clinical relevance to therapeutic potential, and will be a
valuable resource for professionals in the fields of cancer
research and stem cell biology.



Autorentext

Dr. V.K. Rajasekhar, M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., is a Senior
Research Scientist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New
York. His work with patient derived prostate cancer stem cell
xenografts, a first study in renewable Biobanking of these
clinically relevant cells, has garnered eclectic post-publication
reviews. Dr. Rajasekhar has received competitive research awards
from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, and the Robert
A. Welch Foundation, Texas. He has conducted research at MD
Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, University of California at
Irvine, University of Freiburg in Germany, etc., and taught at the
University of California, Irvine and the University of Medicine and
Dentistry of New Jersey. Dr. Rajasekhar has served as a peer
reviewer for several journals, including Stem Cells, Proceedings
of National Academy of Sciences USA, Journal of Molecular Biology,
Journal of Cell Biology, Neoplasia, etc.
