Summary:
Researchers at the B.C. Cancer Agency say they've discovered that not all stem cells in mice are created equal and different cells behave in different ways, which could explain why some kinds of leukemia are harder to treat. If the discovery holds true for humans, the agency says researchers may be able to use different subtypes of stem cells to produce more effective bone marrow transplants in leukemia patients.
