Abstract

The history of stem cell research was started in the early 1900s in Europe where the researcher realized that various types of blood cells came from a particular β€œstem cells.” However, it was not until 1963 that the first quantitative description of the self‐renewal activities of transplanted mouse bone marrow cells were documented by Canadian scientist Ernest A McCulloch and James E Till in Toronto. The concept of cancer stem cells has been used over 50 years ago; whereas the strong evidence for the existence of a Cancer Stem Cells was obtained recently. Consequently, there is increasing attention in recent year about cancer stem cells. The findings from recent studies support the concept that stem cells are integral to the development of several forms of human cancer. Changes in stem cell behavior can contribute to tumor formation. Leukemia is a cancer of blood‐forming tissue, including the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Leukemic stem cells represent the cancer stem cells in the leukemia. In this review, we summarize the recent advance in the study of leukemic stem cells. J. Cell. Physiol. 213: 440–444, 2007. Β© 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

As such, stem cells maintain tissue homeostasis throughout the life of a multicellular organism. Aerobic metabolism, while enabling efficient energy production, also generates reactive
