Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a special subgroup of tumor cells and are suggested to be responsible for drug resistance and cancer relapse, mainly due to their ability to both self-renew and resist drug targeting. In the last few years, the scientific community has dedicated significant effort to generating new strategies to eradicate this population to sensitize the tumor to new therapies. Unfortunately, this cell population still represents the cause of several treatment failures. For this collection, entitled “Cancer Stem Cells and Drug Resistance”, we welcome original research contributions that focus on advances and novel strategies to overcome drug resistance driven by cancer stem cells, as well as other challenges and new findings in the field of cancer stem cell research.
Dr. Giovanni Amabile
Guest Editor
