Cancer Stem Cell-Exosomes, Unexposed Player in Tumorigenicity (original) (raw)

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are implicated in tumorigenicity through their ability to self-renew and differentiate. Recent studies suggest that exosomes derived from CSCs play a critical role in this process by modulating tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis through their unique microRNA composition. Despite technical challenges in isolating and characterizing CSC exosomes, understanding their distinct contributions could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment and prevention.
