The mysterious stem cells that could hold the key to beating bowel cancer - Cancer Research UK - Cancer News Using organoids, researchers have found that 'revival' stem cells could hold the key to why people's cancers respond differently to treatment

"We’re going to find a way to kill these cells,” says
@christophertape.bsky.social “We won’t stop until we do.”

Loved working on this piece with Chris & his team - and with Sharon, who donated her bowel tumour to Chris's @cancerresearchuk.org -funded lab.
