  • Abstract
    Our study indicates that indeed it is possible to control the proliferation of adult hMScs. These results could be used to arrest cancer stem cells from proliferation and thus pave the way for a physical cancer therapy that can be out-patient-based using reduced doses of highly toxic chemo drugs, thus enhancing quality of life by reducing cost and side effects.
