Nanomaterial-Mediated Ablation Therapy for Cancer Stem Cells

Summary Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells that reside inside the tumor and are believed to be causative for tumor initiation, metastasis, and relapse. Due to their specific intrinsic defense mechanisms, CSCs are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which leads to treatment failure in the clinic. Recent advances in nanotechnology […]
