When studying how normal
cells change
into cancer cells, dos Santos and
other cancer researchers pay close attention to gene expression.
Cancer cells resemble stem
cells not because they can turn
into other cell types, but because in developmental terms, they seem to go in the opposite direction: they begin to run through multiple layers of stop signs and barricades and just keep on multiplying.
