Cancer Cells VS Normal Cells

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a type of cancer cell that has the ability to self-renew and develop tumours. In the late 1990s, they were found in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). [1] CSCs have since been detected in a variety of solid malignancies. [2-6] CSCs have been the subject of significant research as a possible target for cancer therapies throughout the last two decades.

  1. CANCER CELLS V/S NORMAL CELLS There are numerous distinctions between cancerous and non-cancerous cells. A few of the differences are well- known, while others were uncovered more recently and are less well known. Discovering how cancer cells differ from normal cells paves the way for researchers to develop treatments that will rid the body of malignant cells There are numerous distinctions between cancerous and CONTROLLING CELL GROWTH Recognizing cancer cells also require a brief description of the proteins in the body that control cell proliferation. Our DNA contains genes, which serve as the roadmap for the body's protein production. The following are some of the significant differences between normal and cancer cells, which explain why malignant tumours grow and respond to their environ- malignant tumours grow and respond to their environ- ment differently than benign tumours: GROWTH SUPPRESSORS Tumour suppressors regulate normal cell growth. Tumour suppressor genes are classified into three types, each of which codes for a protein that inhibits growth. Mutations that arise in any of these tumour suppressor genes being inactivated enable cancer is the abnormal growth unchecked. INSTABILITY IN THE GENOME Normal cells have ordinary DNA and chromosome numbers. Cancer Cells frequently have an abnormal number of chromosomes, and the DNA becomes progres- sively abnormal as plenty of other mutations occurs. INVASION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM When normal cells are damaged, the immune system (via lymphocytes) recognises and eliminates them. Cancer cells can circumvent the immune system to form a tumour by evading detection or by releasing chemicals that inhibit the activity of immune cells that respond to situations.
