Duxbling Stem Cells Meet Tumorigenesis

Identification of tumor-initiating populations could provide insights into tumor heterogeneity and responses to treatments, but this has proven difficult in most cancers. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Preussner et al. (2018) provide direct evidence that regenerating muscle satellite cells can be transformed to initiate and propagate rhabdomyosarcoma tumors.
