Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. CD133, a transmembrane glycoprotein, is an important cell surface marker for both stem cells and cancer stem cells in various tissues including liver. CD133 expression has been recently linked to poor prognosis
## Dear Editor, We read the comments of Angela Gradilone et al. on our article ''Isolation and characterization of tumorigenic extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells with stem cell-like properties.'' The authors concluded that CD133 and ALDH1 are two other molecular markers of putative cancer stem
## Abstract ## Background Mounting evidence suggests that most tumors consist of a heterogeneous population of cells with a subset population that has the exclusive tumorigenic ability. They are called cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs can selfβrenew to generate additional CSCs and also differentiate
