Further research uncovered a broad spectrum of
cell surface stem

pancreas, liver, ovary, skin, colon
cancers, and melanoma (3 - 6)(Figure 1 based on 7).
Quiescent PSCs in a normal
pancreas act as lipid - storing

In
cancer, the new research indicates, FOXA1 activity enables a
cell to return to a developmentally primitive state — one in which the
pancreas is being formed, and
cells are multiplying and moving around, assuming the positions that characterize the maturing organ.
However, because mature
cells in the stomach,
pancreas, liver, and kidney all activate the same genes and go through the same process when they begin to divide again, the findings could mean that
cancer initiation is much more similar across organs than scientists have thought.
Experiments on
