It was in her brain, in her lungs, in her liver.

In effect, the cancer cell was forgetting it was cancer and becoming a normal cell.

This is a normal cell. This is a cancer cell.

It's got a lot of cells in it too, right?

We perfuse the outside of the liver with the patient's own liver cells.

Liver cells, nerve cells, pancreatic cells we still can't grow them even today.

My body's an accumulation of ideas too the idea of skin cells, the idea of brain cells, the idea of liver cells.

However cancer is constrained by living inside our bodies, and its continued growth, its spreading through our bodies and eating away at our tissues, leads to the death of the cancer patient and also to the death of the cancer itself.

The observation that stem cells, as master cells, could give rise to a whole variety of different cell types heart cells, liver cells, pancreatic islet cells captured the attention of the media and the imagination of the public.

And this is exactly how one cancer cell becomes two cancer cells, two cancer cells become four cancer cells, and we have ultimately uncontrolled tumor growth.

Stem cells may be used as building blocks to repair damaged scaffolds within our body, or to provide new liver cells to repair damaged liver.

Accordingly, the Panel recommends no compensation for this part of the first claim unit.

It's just a bunch of cells. You understand your liver.

And we then can re perfuse the liver with cells, preserving the blood vessel tree.

These cancers include acute lymphoblastic leukaemia acute myelogenous leukaemia chronic lymphocytic leukaemia hairy cell leukaemia non Hodgkin's lymphoma Hodgkin's disease melodysplastic syndrome multiple myeloma retinoblastoma Ewing sarcoma Wilms tumour neuroblastoma sarcoma rhabdomyosarcoma testis tumour and lung cancer.

Whereas a skin cell or a liver cell, for instance, can reproduce only more skin or liver, stem cells, which are the most robust at the beginning of human development, are master cells. As a fertilized egg turns into an embryo, and then a fetus, those initial stem cells somehow show their daughter cells how to become skin, liver, eye, or bone.

Cancer is an interaction of a cell that no longer is under growth control with the environment.

And just as the Tasmanian devil cancer is contagious through the spread of living cancer cells, so is this dog cancer.

We think that cancer cells actually come off the tumor, get into the saliva.

Hepatitis C causes chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Before the surgery for the stomach cancer, the cancer cells have spread to the lungs.

You can hold it like a liver, but it has no cells it's just a skeleton of the liver.

And the reason is that cancer, like every cell in the body, places little molecular bookmarks, little Post it notes, that remind the cell I'm cancer I should keep growing.

We found that all of these cancers shared the same DNA.

That means that all of these cancers actually are the same cancer that arose once from one individual devil, that have broken free of that first devil's body and spread through the entire Tasmanian devil population.

If somehow we can cause these cells to differentiate to become bone tissue, lung tissue, liver tissue, whatever that cancer has been put there to do it would be a repair process. We'd end up better than we were before cancer.

If they don't it goes everywhere.

In a human being, down in here it could be make blood cells, start cancer.

But it could be pancreatic cancer cells.

A carcinogen is any substance or agent that causes abnormal growth of cells, which can also cause them to metastasize or spread.

Two weeks later, we basically can lift this organ up, it feels like a liver, we can hold it like a liver, it looks like a liver, but it has no cells.

So we actually perfuse first the blood vessel tree with the patient's own blood vessel cells, and we then infiltrate the parenchyma with the liver cells.

The first cancer that we have focused on is the deadly brain cancer, GBM.

But Wigler, besides looking at cancer cells, looked at normal cells, and made a really sort of surprising observation.

May none of your non cancer cells become endangered species.

At first when I heard of cancer stem cells, I didn't really know how to put the two together. I'd heard of stem cells, and I'd heard of them as the panacea of the future the therapy of many diseases to come in the future, perhaps.

Most of the people that Dr. Southam injected did not go on to develop cancer from the injected cells.

Another example is the creation of hybridomas, hybrid cells created in the laboratory by fusing normal white blood cells that produce antibodies with a cancer cell. Researchers wanted to combine the cancer cells rapid growth and the normal cells ability to dictate the production of a single specific monoclonal antibody.

And I stumbled across something called cancer stem cells.

So just finally, cancer is an inevitable outcome of the ability of our cells to divide and to adapt to their environments.

New cancer vaccine can teach the immune system to 'see' rogue cells

This is cultures, identical cultures, of cervical cancer cells.

But if you really understand why does a cell go from normal cell to cancer?

If you postpone the surgery, pancreatic cancer cells will spread.

If you drink, you damage your liver, and then liver cancer occurs.
