Cancer stem cell subpopulation drives metastasis of human pancreatic cancer

Scientists have identified a distinct subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) that is responsible for metastasis of a deadly human pancreatic cancer. The research, published by Cell Press in the Sept. issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, provides insight into the role of CSCs in cancer initiation, progression and metastasis, and suggests new directions for development of more effective therapeutics.
