Article Synopsis
- Stem cells help heal and regenerate tissues, and similar cells have been found in tumors, but not in the upper respiratory tract until now.
- Researchers studied a tumor from a 6-year-old boy and discovered a special type of cell that acted like bone marrow stem cells.
- These cells had unique features and abilities, but didn't cause tumors when tested in mice, helping us learn more about tracheal cancer and future treatments.
