45 2005 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award Ernest McCulloch and James Till for ingenious experiments that first identified a stem cell the blood forming stem cell which set the stage for all current research on adult and embryonic stem cells

46 Colony Forming Unit Spleen (CFU S) assay

47 In the early 1960s, McCulloch and Till started a series of experiments that involved injecting bone marrow cells into irradiated mice. Visible nodules were observed in the spleens of the mice, in proportion to the number of bone marrow cells injected. Till and McCulloch called the nodules 'spleen colonies', and speculated that each nodule arose from a single marrow cell: perhaps a stem cell.

59 The Cancer Stem Cell Model Like normal stem cells, only a small subpopulation of cells, called cancer stem cells (CSC), can selfrenew and give rise to differentiated cancer cells in the tumour. The cells in a tumour are hierarchically organized. Only CSCs di drive the tumour growth.

60 The Stochastic Model All cancer cells have the same potential to grow and divide, but each cell randomly chooses between self-renewal and differentiation. The cells in a tumour are not in an organized system any cell has the same intrinsic potential to contribute to tumour growth.
