Stable isotopes from Earth science to bedside medicine: beyond tracers and toward mechanistic biomarkers in medical oncology

Abstract Stable isotopes are non-radioactive variants of the same element whose small mass differences produce predictable effects in chemical and biological systems. While medicine has mainly used the administration of enriched stable isotopes as tracers of physiological functio...

Translational insights and clinical challenges of targeting cancer stem cells

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are tumor cell subsets with self-renewal, multilineage differentiation, and tumor-initiating capacity that sustain cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and relapse. Targeting CSCs therefore represents a promising route to improve the durab...
