Cancer Stem Cell Quiescence: Molecular and Microenvironmental Evidence for an Actively Regulated Adaptive Survival Strategy

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a therapy‐refractory subpopulation that drives tumor persistence, recurrence, and metastasis. A defining characteristic of CSCs is their ability to reversibly exit the cell cycle and enter a quiescent state, thereby escaping cytotoxic therapies that primarily target proliferating cells. Alt...
