    Is there a way to find out
    Is there a way to find out what they are doing with this information. The article just ends. It sounds good.... but then what/who is taking it a further step? Doesn't seem to sound harmful. I hate waiting.

    It will be
    15 to 20 years before this becomes a therapy (if ever). The awareness of the cancer stem cell action in making a tumor treatment resistant is relatively recent.

    In this case, the mouse model will have to be repeated a few times, then a stage one trial in humans, followed by a stage two trial (each lasting several years), then a larger stage three trial.

    It could stop at any one of these steps for any number of reasons. In all likelyhood this is the last we will here of it.
