How is Fault Tolerance Linked to Cancer Stem Cells?
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells with stem cell-like properties, including self-renewal and differentiation capabilities. CSCs are believed to contribute significantly to fault tolerance in cancer. They can remain dormant for extended periods and are often more resistant to conventional therapies. Targeting CSCs is considered a promising strategy to overcome fault tolerance and achieve more durable cancer treatment outcomes.
