Summary:
The Baltimore Sun reports cancer researchers are gaining new insights into cancer stem cell function and treatment by working on figuring out how to destroy cancer stem cells:
"The notion of stem cells as potential villains is counterintuitive, given their highly publicized promise for repairing damaged tissues and organs. But some experts say that certain stem cells may be just as good at restoring cancers that doctors are trying to eradicate. Learning how to destroy cancer stem cells, they theorize, might lead to that most elusive of breakthroughs - the cure for cancer."
