    We have previously reported that cancer stem cells (CSCs) exist as two biologically distinct phenotypes. Both phenotypes are CD44(high) but whereas one is also ESA(high) and maintains epithelial characteristics, the other is ESA(low) , has mesenchymal characteristics and is migratory. Examining CD44...
