Cancer cell development
Cancer arises when any given body cell starts to grow and divide out of control. However, not all processes leading to this transformation are known yet. Therefore, studies investigating how the first cancer cell emerges and whether some cells are more responsible for the continuous growth tumors than others are important to identify mechanisms to interfere with these processes.
