Abstract
In a recent issue of Nature, Diehn et al. (2009) demonstrate that breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) maintain lower levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) than their nontumorigenic counterparts. Their studies provide a link between the management of ROS by CSCs and enhanced tumor radioresistance.
