Cancers are composed of heterogeneous populations of cells with varying degrees of proliferative capacity and ability to reconstitute tumors when transplanted into nude or SCID mice.
Recently, cancer stem cells have been identified as a small population of tumor cells which possess the stem cell properties in that their self-renewal pathway is highly deregulated. This deregulation seems to be the prerequisite for the development of cancer.
