Reversing cancer cells to normal cells: Tumor cells exposed to embryonic microenvironment of stem cells

Source: Northwestern University
Date: April 29, 2007

Summary:

A Northwestern University scientist describes new research that used an innovative experimental approach to provide unique insights into how scientists can change human metastatic melanoma cells back to normal-like skin cells -- by exposing the tumor cells to the embryonic microenvironment of human embryonic stem cells, the zebra fish and the chick embryo.
