A special issue on Stem Cells in Cancer is going to be published in the October Issue of Translational Cancer Research (V2N5). This special issue is guest-edited by Prof. Daohong Zhou from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Prof. Chuanyuan Li from Duke University Medical Center. The issue covers different aspects of stem cells from the pernicious effect of cancer stem cells in cancer therapy to the protective effect of tissue stem cells in therapy-induced tissue damage, and highlights the latest findings about stem cells in cancer therapy and its clinical implications. The following is the outline of this issue.
