Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent years have witnessed substantial progress in research on breast cancer stem cell properties. However, the most important challenge that remains to be addressed is the applicationof research findings for the benefit of patients.
Research on the influence of the microenvironment continues to make critical contributions to progress in the field. In this vein, studies of cellular transitions and interactions that affect immunity, inflammation and homeostasis, can lead to the development of methods that employ host factors to control the disease.
We invite manuscripts that add the dimension of translational research: at least in the discussion, a critical analysis of the significance of research findings for patient care. Research methodically examining the translational and prognostic value of cellular and molecular factors is also welcome.
Dr. Spiros Vlahopoulos
Guest Editor
