Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Does anyone have info on hyper plastic cells? The only thing I have found out is that they are not cancer, but exist next to cancer tumors. I Suspect virus or bacteria activity that turns normal cells into " a changed cell, not normal " . thanks Jimd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 There was a very interesting article on cancer stem cells in July's Scientific American. It discusses the various ways in which signaling either allows or prevents cell reproduction, and what this means in cancer. I can't remember a reference to hyper plastic cells though. Basically, the article is pointing out that not all cancer cells can reproduce, and that if we could target the stem cells, treatment would be more effective.- KateOn Jul 22, 2006, at 2:33 PM, jimd85379 wrote:Does anyone have info on hyper plastic cells?
