研究表明肿瘤干细胞(CSCs)促使肿瘤的生长和复发。CSCs对目前多种化疗和放射治疗耐受,这表明虽然许多抗肿瘤治疗能够杀死大量肿瘤细胞,但最终仍会失败,原因在于这些治疗不能根除引起肿瘤再生的CSCs。原则上,使用自动筛选技术能够鉴定出杀伤CSCs的因子。但由于CSCs在肿瘤细胞群 Studies have shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to tumor growth and recurrence. CSCs are resistant to a variety of chemotherapies and radiotherapies so far, suggesting that although many antitumor therapies kill large numbers of tumor cells, they ultimately fail because these treatments do not eradicate CSCs that cause tumor regeneration. In principle, factors that kill CSCs can be identified using automated screening techniques. But due to CSCs in the tumor cell population
