Pus-me a ouvir este podcast na última descida à capital. Altamente interessante: o mais recente e importante que se faz em investigação de cancro numa linguagem perfeitamente acessível (ainda que em inglês). Quem diria que as células estaminais têm tanta importância na causa (ergo cura) do cancro!!!
Why is cancer so difficult to treat? The answer may be found in the cancer stem cell, a concept that scientists have only recently begun to explore. Now, researchers are racing to identify stem cells in all different kinds of tumors, findings which will undoubtedly revolutionize our understanding of how cancer develops. In this discussion, Whitehead Member Bob Weinberg will explore how researchers are looking into the origins of the cancer stem cell.
