Stem Cells – More than Just Rejuvinating
Researchers are finding that there is a very likely link between cancer stem cells and their ability to incite other cells to grow malignant all over the body. Once hailed as the super-cell of the human body which got it into the spotlight for it’s rejuvenatory abilities, it has also been found that it can increase the occurrence of tumors in the brain. Their ability to turn into the several hundred or so types of cells in the human body has attracted the attention of researchers, who have found a sinister side to these wondrous super cells. One who has breast cancer or a form of the disease elsewhere may be more susceptible to developing brain tumors as seen in several studies. These findings are being used to develop better screening procedures for brain cancers allowing early detection with the best possible chances of recovery.
