Abstract

The design of tissue culture conditions that faithfully reproduce the characteristics of cells in their native environment remains one of the main challenges of cancer stem cell (CSC) biology. Here we describe a detailed methodology for the isolation and expansion of both human colon CSCs and mouse intestinal adenoma together with a brief differentiation and coculture method that proved to be valuable to study the concept of CSCs plasticity
