Kelly has breast cancer. Her doctors determined her breast cancer wasaggressive, which meant that she needed to undergo chemotherapy. Her doctors recommended a combination of docetaxel (Taxotere®), carboplatin, and trastuzumab (Herceptin®). The following is her blog entry after her second chemo treatment: As far as chemo symptoms go, the biggest has been fatigue. I was just tired, grumpy, and not my usual, peppy self most of the week. Other very minor things—tiny bit of stomach upset at the beginning of the week, but just enough to make me not feel like eating a big steak, not enough to keep me from eating soup or sandwiches. My scalp felt a little irritated—for the girls out there, itwas the feeling of having my hair in a tight ponytail all day and then letting it down, and the follicles just feel prickly—this is normal for several daysbefore the hair falls out. Also, I have a weird dry mouth feeling, so some things taste a little different. But seriously, these are really minor…

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. There are many biomedical engineering based approaches to detect CSCs. Question: What is the importance and advantages of detecting CSCs? Make a list of it. Thank you.
Induced pluripotent stem cells have allowed scientists to model various diseases and screen drugs in these in vitro models.

The mechanisms that “trigger” micrometastases to develop into macrometastases (which can be clinically detected) are still poorly understood. However, elucidating these pathways could offer valuable insights into the long term treatment of cancer patients. Interestingly, the efficiency of this process is believed to be very low (indeed, many patients exhibit micrometastases that never develop into full blown clinical metastases). Which mechanism has a stronger influence on the outcome of colonization? What is the main driver leading to the development of macrometastases from micrometastases?
Jurkat cells are an immortalized line of human T-lymphocytes cells that are used to study acute T cell leukemia. K562 cells were the first human immortalized myelogenous leukemia cell line to be established. Resting= control, Etoposide= drug. Below is shown the results of floweytometry of untreated and treated cells.

These cells will form tumors if injected subcutaneously into immunocompromised mice. C. These cells have stopped proliferating and will die. D. These cells have an increased requirement for growth factors. E. These cells would fail to grow in normal medium.
