Gene expression controlled by stem cells and its relationship with cancer

Abstract
The stem cell is one type of cell that has a strong ability to differentiate and self-renew. It plays a vital role in the cell cycle and gene regulation. Also, due to its unique ability to self-regenerate, stem cells have the potential to produce medicines. In this article, it will talk about stem cells controlling the gene expression mechanism and focus on recent research that has revealed a relationship between stem cells and tumor cells, indicating a potential way to treat cancer, and cancer stem cell theory showing the similarity between the stem cell and the cancer cell at the starting point which gives birth to the tumor such theory gives a new understanding towards the existence of cancer. Another important subject about stem cell is mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which is one type of stem cell that is focused and well-studied due to its owning of enormous clinical application potential.
