Cancer Stem Cells, edited by Dr. Vinagolu K. Rajasekhar 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. The editor and other MSK investigators, namely Drs. Jacqueline Bromberg, Pasquale Sansone, Christopher Y. Park, and Michael G. Kharas, have also contributed to chapters in the book.  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.  Continue reading →
