Altruistic behavior detected in Cancer Stems Cells by Guwahati lab

Guwahati, Jul 4 (UNI) In a breakthrough that could impact the course of research to find a cure to cancer, researchers based in Guwahati, Assam, in collaboration with their US partners, have found that cancer stem cells (CSCs) activate a stemness pathway, which may help cancer cells to escape from chemotherapy/radiotherapy.
This same stemness pathway was activated by embryonic stem cells exhibiting altruistic behavior, with the current finding pointing to a possible role of biological altruism in cancer growth, a possibility that may opens up a whole new dimension in cancer biology.
The study, carried out by physician scientist Dr Bikul Das and his research team at KaviKrishna Lab here, has been published online by the journal ‘Cancer Research’, published by the American Association for Cancer Research, Dr Das, Senior Research Scientist, at the KaviKrishna Laboratory, and the director of the Thoreau Lab for Global Health, University of Lowell, MA, said here today.
