Ectopically Expressed Variant Form of Sperm Mitochondria-Associated Cysteine-Rich Protein Augments Tumorigenicity of the Stem Cell Population of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells

Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)/cancer-initiating cells (CICs) are defined as a small population of cancer cells that have self-renewal ability, differentiation ability and high tumor-initiating ability.
