Özet

The technology of reprogramming a terminally differentiated cell to an embryonic-like state uncovered the possibility of reprogramming a malignant cell back to a more manageable stem cell-like state. Since the current cancer models suffer from reflecting heterogeneous tumour structure and limited to express the late-stage markers, the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology could provide an alternative model to recapitulate the early stages of cancer. Generation of iPSCs from cancer cells could offer a tool for understanding the mechanisms of tumour initiation-progression in vitro, a platform for studying tumour heterogeneity and origin of cancer stem cells and a source for cancer type-specific drug discovery studies.
