MercuryNews.com | 01/18/2007 | Genes linked to aggressive cancer cells

MercuryNews.com | 01/18/2007 | Genes linked to aggressive cancer cells: "The fact that the same set of genes -- a unique genetic signature -- arises in cells that create several different cancers also suggests there are some fundamental properties of cancer that are shared by various types of tumors. Dr. Michael Clarke and his team at the Stanford University School of Medicine also learned how these troublemaking stem cells interact with adjacent cells, causing tumors to grow faster."

Finding a common link between different cancer types is very exciting


This is the beginning of another promising line of research. It is also another path to follow and story to tell. Thats why reading about stem cell research is so interesting.
