Abstract

Aspects of the invention relate to methods and related compositions for preferentially targeting cancer stem cells. In some embodiments, the methods utilize PKC-α/FRA1 pathway inhibitors to target carcinoma cells. Also provided are methods for identifying a candidate compound for selectively inhibiting growth of cancer stem cell, and methods for obtaining cells that have undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
