The European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute at Cardiff University believes that cancer stem cells are responsible for the spread and regrowth of tumours. This animation demonstrates how cancer stem cells proliferate.
The aim of the Institute is to develop more personalised approaches to treatment for patients with cancer by aiding faster and cheaper drug development and delivering better diagnostic tools to help detect cancer earlier.
