About this Research Topic
Stem cells, characterized by indefinite proliferative potential and the capability to differentiate into diverse cell types, hold pivotal roles in tissue regeneration and injury repair in the human body. In recent years, it has been discovered that within the population of tumor cells, there is a subset of cells with the ability for unlimited proliferation and self-renewal. These are referred to as cancer stem cells (CSCs), and these characteristics of CSCs are known as tumor stemness. Moreover, numerous studies have shown that CSCs are closely associated with the occurrence, progression, treatment resistance, and prognosis of various tumors. Therefore, investigating the regulatory mechanisms of tumor stemness and targeting CSCs for tumor treatment are currently hot topics in the field of precision oncology.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to further explore the markers and molecular biological characteristics of tumor stem cells. At the same time, this topic will also focus on the bioinformatics technology related to tumor stem cell research and related tumor treatment targets, and finally, this topic will also focus on the role and effect of stem cells in the treatment of urinary system diseases or other diseases.
We welcome authors to contribute Original Research articles as well as Reviews that focus on the topic of cancer stem cells and stem cell treatment. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Cutting-edge biomarkers, molecular pathways, and unique biological aspects of CSCs.
• Innovative bioinformatics methods and high throughput sequencing studies dedicated to cancer stem cell research.
• Investigative studies employing stem cell therapy in the management of urinary system diseases, among other pathologies.
