Identification and characterisation of the cancer stem cell in multiple myeloma (FWOKN215)

The hypothesis of the cancer stem cell model is that not all tumor cells, but only a small subpopulation of tumor cells, namely the cancer stemm cell, are capable of creating new tumors. Alternative terms for the cancer stem cell are tumor-initiating or tumorigenic cell. An importante quality of the cancer stem cell is the ability of regnewal and that it can take the shape of all heterogenic cell types of the tumor. Our aim is to identify and characterize the cancer stem cell in multiple myeloma.
