...The existence of mammary cancer stem cells was recently demonstrated by showing that tumor-initiating cells, enriched for CD44CD24 marker expression, when injected into NOD/scid mice, form morphologically heterogeneous tumors, similar to the tumors from which they were derived (Al-Hajj et al. 2003; Al-Hajj and Clarke 2004)....
