The biology of cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs (red) self-renew and differentiate within tumors to form CSCs pool and non-tumorigenic cancer cells (yellow), which have limited proliferative potential. As the tumor grows, these cells can either undergo limited benign growth or form disseminated malignancies. These cells are resistance to chemotherapy and leads to cancer recurrence.
