Stem cell potential hypothesis. Every cell is considered to possess a degree of stemness that is inversely correlated to its differentiation stage. This hypothesis predicts that non-stem cancer cells (NSCCs) with a high stemness potential are more likely to dedifferentiate into cancer stem cells (CSCs) than their more differentiated counterparts.
