Cancer biologists are yet to understand the mechanisms and cellular hierarchy leading to the developmental arrest in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS)—a group of pediatric cancers, which remain enigmatic.
The ability of stem cells to fix impaired functions of host tissues after transplantation has been a lifesaving breakthrough in treating previously incurable conditions. Much like a coin toss, however, the fate of the transplanted ...
