Discrimination of colon cancer stem cells using noncanonical amino acid

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) may be responsible for tumor recurrence. Metabolic labelling of newly synthesized proteins with non-canonical amino acids allows us to discriminate CSCs in mixed populations due to the quiescent nature of these cells.
