Abstract
Elimination of self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) is necessary to permanently eradicate malignant tissues. In a recent article in Nature, de Sousa e Melo et al. (2017) reveal that intestinal tumors can contain dynamic pools of functionally distinct CSC populations, which seem to interconvert depending on the host tissue microenvironment.
