Abstract
AbstractMany tumors are sustained by microenvironments, or niches, that support and protect malignant cells, thus conferring a competitive advantage against both healthy cells and therapeutic interventions (for a brief review, see Yao and Link (Stem Cells 35: 3–8, 2017)). The global industry engaged in the commercial promotion of unproven and scientifically implausible cell-based “regenerative” therapies has developed a number of self-protective strategies that support its survival and growth in ways that are broadly analogous to the functions of the malignant niche.
