Advances in Cancer Stem Cell Biology
In recent years, cancer stem cells have been recognized as important component in carcinogenesis and they seem to form the basis of many (if not all) tumor types. Cancer stem cells or “cancer cell like stem cells” have been isolated from various cancers of different origin (blood, breast, brain, skin, head and neck, thyroid, cervix, lung, retina, colon, pancreas and so on). Cancer stem cells – rare cells with indefinite proliferative potential that drive the formation and growth of tumours- seem to show intriguing relationships with physiological stem cells. Specifically, these cancer cells show significant similarities in the mechanisms that regulate self-renewal of normal stem cells. Moreover, tumour cells might directly arise from normal stem cells. Further, the cellular biology of cancer stem cells show a lot of similarities with normal stem cells.

Human Cell Transformation: Role of Stem Cells and the Microenvironment (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)
Rhim and Kremer’s state-of-the-art volume on Human Cell Transformation: Role of Stem Cells and the Microenvironment highlights the latest findings on the current state of human cell transformation model systems and provides the insight into the molecular and cellular changes involved in the conversion of normal cells to neoplastic cells.
Chapters cover all recently developed novel human cell models. In addition, the rapidly growing fields of knowledge regarding not only stem cells in cancer progression, but also the role of the microenvironments in human carcinogenesis are discussed. A wealth of topics is presented including:
· Derivation of epithelial, fibroblastic, and hematopoietic in vitro model systems
· Oncogenes
· Tumor suppressor genes
· Viral transformation
· In vitro model systems for viral, chemical and radiation carcinogenesis
· Cell aging
· The multistep nature of human carcinogenesis
· The role of stem cells and the microenvironment in tumorigenesis
· The genes involved in multistep carcinogenesis
Unique in both scope and focus – devoted solely to human cell transformation systems – Human Cell Transformation: Role of Stem Cells and the Microenvironment provides unparalleled, in-depth coverage for cancer researchers, cell and molecular biologists, hematologists, virologists, and workers in related fields.
Essential reading for everyone who needs to be kept up-to-date in this fast-paced area!

Novel Angiogenic Mechanisms: Role of Circulating Progenitor Endothelial Cells (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)
This volume illustrates the current lines of investigation of the angiogenic mechanisms based on contribution of circulating progenitor cells. The main themes that currently dominate this research field are: the origin of these cells, their tissue engraftment, their phenotypic modulation leading to the transformation into endothelial cells, etc. This volume is a key reference for angiogenesis researchers and students alike, in the fields of cardiovascular medicine, neoplastic disorders, wound management and tissue engineering, among others.
Key Features:
-Fresh data and concepts are presented to advance our understanding of basic angiogenic mechanisms.
- Focuses entirely on an emerging paradigm able to supplement the old angiogenic mechanism, called the “sprouting” model, in accounting for all real-life situations.
- Deals with the potential of progenitor cells to contribute to the maintenance and/or regeneration of tissues in an adult organism.
