City of Hope researchers are working to uncover how cancer stem cells grow, and what can be done to stop them from multiplying. To figure that out, they study how certain proteins interact with a cell’s genetic material — and how that affects the complex processes that make cancer cells divide.Listen in as Leo David Wang, M.D., Ph.D. explains how our team at City of Hope, comprises stem cell biologists, cancer researchers and clinicians, nanotechnologists, bioinformaticians and graduate students all working toward a common goal: targeting cancer stem cells to suppress tumor formation and enhance patient survival.
