Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Stem Cells Depend on NOTCH1 and SOX10 Signaling

Cancer researchers have isolated a stem cell population from the cells making up an adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) tumor and showed that the signaling factors NOTCH1 and SOX10 were essential for the cancer stem cells to proliferate and resist radiation treatment. More...
