Abstract:
We have developed the protocol of flow cytometry for characterizing diversity among oral stem-like cancer cells (SLCCs) using CD44, CD24, and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in oral tumors. We are also reporting the protocol for tumor-derived explant cultures to develop oral cancer cell lines and enriching these diverse hybrid states of cancer cells in 3D spheroids from established cell lines. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Vipparthi et al. (2022) and Vipparthi et al. (2021).

01:18Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
