Hallmarks of cancer stem cells include increased expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) membrane transporters, enhanced survival signaling, increased drug in activation as well as increased DNA repair processes compared to cancer cells. This allows CSCs to survive conventional therapy and thus contribute to chemoresistance for example. Adapted from Senthebane et al. [3].
