Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Morral et al. (2020) shed new light on the hierarchical organization of cells within colorectal cancer. They show that tumor cells at the apex of this hierarchy reside in particular tumor zones and possess high protein synthesis activity. Interference with their biosynthetic activity results in an irreversible growth arrest of CRC.
