## Abstract High aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity has recently been used to identify tumorigenic cell fractions in many cancer types. Herein we hypothesized that a subpopulation of cells with cancer stem cells (CSCs) properties could be identified in established human osteosarcoma cell lines

## Abstract ## Background In accord with the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory, only a small subset of cancer cells are capable of forming tumors. We previously reported that CD44 isolates tumorigenic cells from head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Recent studies indicate that aldehyde dehydrog
## Abstract While many solid tumors have been reported to contain stem cellβlike cells termed cancer stem cells, the case for a melanoma stem cell has been debated over the last few years. Herein, we summarize current knowledge of melanomaβinitiating cells and provide an update on recently gained k
## Abstract Adiposeβderived adult stem (ADAS) cells represent an abundant population of multipotent mesodermal cells residing in various adipose tissue depots. ADAS cell preparations appear heterogeneous, yet at a clonal level, greater than 50% of these cells exhibit multilineage differentiation po
