This comprehensive book delves into the intricate world of stem cells and cancer stem cell generation within the inflammatory microenvironment, commonly known as the cancer-inducing niche. By employing induced pluripotent stem cells, the authors offer a groundbreaking approach to studying these cells and their role in cancer development. Spanning 20 chapters, the book explores a wide range of topics, including the generation of pluripotent stem cells, the conversion of normal stem cells into cancer stem cells, the enrichment, isolation, and evaluation of cancer stem cells. Furthermore, it delves into methods for assessing the characteristics of cancer stem cells and discussing potential therapies against them.

The book is designed to be accessible to researchers, students, technicians, and physicians alike, with easy-to-follow protocols that aid in the study of cancer stem cells. Numerous illustrations provide visual clarity, illustrating how the cancer stem cell generation method can be applied as a crucial tool for assessing the carcinogenic potential of non-mutagenic compounds.

With its extensive coverage and valuable insights, this book serves as a valuable resource for those engaged in cancer research, providing a deeper understanding of the role of stem cells and cancer stem cells in tumor formation and potential therapeutic targets.
