Summary:
A researcher at the University of Calgary has developed a successful process to grow a potentially unlimited supply of breast cancer stem cells from laboratory mice by adapting bioreactor technology used previously for protein production to reproduce the stem cells. The breakthrough could provide new insights into the development of drugs, treatments and cures for breast cancer.
Commentary: Hopefully this finding will provide researchers with new ideas and strategies about how to translate this breakthrough into treatments for human breast cancer patients.
